Setting up website and blogs for a summer 2023 trip. Not sure where or when yet, but will work on that later. 6/29/2022, only one year out, who is excited!
And today was nice but short.. https://www.relive.cc/view/v1vj9Dp2pJq How's about that, June 4th drove from Mora campsight via the beach and stopped at more beaches. Meet a couple from the east coast that showed me pics of a tropical looking forest, so headed there. Now at Gatton Beach creek campsight. Howard had us on a great 4 mile hike thru some tropical forest up in the hills. A really nice hike, old forest cedar trees, streams and maybe some bear poop... Well back at camp, went for a swim and found it very refreshing. Sitting in my cool camping chair finished a beer and some chips, dinner is at the salmon house less than a half miles away. I think we will walk. Talk amongst the group about staying a second night... discussion is how cold will it be tonight... only time will tell, stay tuned for more on Howard and John's driving in circles. Arrived at the salmon house for dinner I , ordered.... The spaghetti and meatballs of course. no...
Not a high mileage day, but great exploring the seaside. https://www.relive.cc/view/vMq5eE71AQq Coos Beach, sunset campground rocks. It's a great place even if cold and foggy. Breakfast at camp Roddy, and maybe 17 miles total today. Beach tidepool cruising, hiking g to see the walruses hanging out, and more tidepooling. Tomorrow we head down the coast to Elk Praire campground. About three and a half hours away down the coast. Plan is up and breakfast, the depart just after 7am so as not to wake to many happy campers. Sleep tight!
Day 22, June 8th https://www.relive.cc/view/vYvrVAXAdLv Off from camping at Rainier, a nice night, I went top less st 4k feet, we'll just the screen no tent covering to keep the bears and raccoons out. Warm till 11, then a small light blanket then about 2am I dove into my sleeping bag. Up early and on the road, we stop for coffee and simple food at a hiking inn just outside the park. Good stuff. I try to get us to the backside of Mount saint helens. But both roads are blocked due to snow and other road issues. First road about 15 miles in towards Couger, we need to turn around. Super nice bike road for sure. Then back to the sispus road and down to Mount Adam's, but alas when we ask at the conservation core camp off sysapus, they tell us the road is closed and back to the highway we go. Now at a pretty cool dinner in Naches at about 2pm. We make camp at Yakima sportsman state park, not bad, for 30 bucks, you get mosquitos, homes wit...
