Yesterday morning, I hiked on Rialto beach, just west of Forks. there are dramatic sea stacks to see, one of which is called Split Rock. The beach was filled with driftwood (some of it HUGE) and was dramatic, windswept and seemingly desolate. There were a fair number of people walking on the beach, but they were peaceful, quiet, against the roar of the sea...seemingly humbled, if I may say so.
It rained on and off and more so when I wanted to take photos of the rocks. I don't mind the rain, but it doesn't go too well with photography. Mist and clouds are good, but rain drops on the lens are not so good.
I enjoyed this beach, with it's roaring sea, tumbled driftwood, cobblestones and misty rain. Too bad that I had to head back to Forks to do some work. Otherwise, I would have stayed there longer.
Last night I stayed in Neah Bay (on the Makah reservation) and went out for breakfast this morning to the only place that offered breakfast there. I had a great breakfasdt of huckleberry pancakes and ended up chatting with the waitress who later introduced me to some locals who came in and they invited me to their table and I chatted with them for a while. They were super nice and I'm glad I got to meet some local people. Later I hiked up to Cape Flattery and stopped at the Makah museum on the way out of town.
In Port Angeles now at the library. Seems like I'm touring all the libraries of the Northwest! I'll be heading to Victoria tomorrow on the ferry to meet up with Kevan.
