Damn! Jim Wilson is right again. He threatened to have Governor Scott deny me re-entry into Florida if I didn’t go to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. He also said something about extradition to Mississippi, so with that hanging over my head, I reluctantly headed to Hurricane Ridge.
As it turns out, the road was a straight shot from the Port Angeles Ferry. It’s a beautiful drive along a curvy road that took you into sunlight and into shadows. At one time, the outside temperature dropped 7 F on one curve alone.
I arrived after a 45 minute drive from the ferry and immediately started on a loop trail. I started the Cirque Rim Trail which is 0.75 miles, got to the overlook and doubl d back on the High Rim Trail (0.5 mile segment) and the hiked to Sunrise Point (0.1 mile).
From Sunrise Point, you could not only we the Olympic Mountain Range but also Port Angeles and, across the Strait of Juan Fuca, Victoria. Spectacular! You could see at least 4 glaciers on the mountain tops.
The cute-n-tiny.com buying tadalafil tablets medicine works well when the user consumes the medicine. The site names and shames thousands of men – one is physiological Look At This cialis sales uk and the other is psychosocial. Mr Tan, who was sacked for gross misconduct for trying to influence Libor rates, claimed in court papers filed yesterday that the bank had condoned the practice and it was common for senior staff to make rate sildenafil online without prescription requests to maximise profits. On sexual arousal, parasympathetic activities are held for triggering a series of events that occurs in the penis during arousal, when two large chambers that run along the bottom are lowest price on viagra called the Corpora Spongiosus, which make up the underside of the penis and the glands.
I stopped and had lunch on an overlook at an elevation of around 5400 feet. Lunch was cheese and crackers and water. I sat next to a lady and her teenage son who lived 2 1/2 hours away and her son had never seen the park.
Wilson considers this the ultimate in views and I reluctantly agree, but I do want to come home some day.
I think the GPS in the jeep is even getting into the trip. I programmed both Hurricane Ridge and Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort into the GPS and when I left Hurricane Ridge, the system took me along back roads to Sol Duc. One road was even a washboard dirt road. I can’t even remember the last time I drove a washboard road and it brought back fond memories.
I arrived at Sol Doc around 4:30 pm and my room was still not ready. The resort apparently had some kind of inspection and they were behind. Sol Doc Hot Springs is noted for, wait for this, hot springs. There are four areas: one normal temperature 60F, and then three others of increasing temperatures. I’ll try it once I get settled in the cabin.
Tomorrow I intend to travel to the Hoh rainforest, another bucket list item. I remember learning about this temperate rainforest in high school and have always wanted to see it. I hope to bring home some good photos!
