Roxy and Linda's Summer Vacation in 2022

June 4, 2022 ..... Back to the welcome page and listings for other links

Olympic National Park. We camped 3 different spots. What a diverse park, beaches, rain forest, hot springs and snow!

Our email address is gusrox30@gmail.com. Feel free to drop a note and say hello anytime!

Enjoyed a few more beach walks, so many shells!
---

Into the rain forest. The trees are huge & as they fall there are many stages of decomposition.

This is a BIG cedar!
---

We came upon a herd of elk.
---

Tropical house plant on steroids!!
---

Along the Hall of Mosses trail in Hoh Rainforest.
---

This might be a Sitka spruce, hard to tell cause the branches are about 200 feet above us! Can't believe they don't tip over with the trunks looking like tripods.
---

Trees are growing out of this root ball!

This view is straight up thru the van's roof window. We're camped in the Hoh rainforest. The area gets 140 plus inches of rain annually. 50 degrees & lots of rain…brrrr!
---

Hiked up to a waterfall at Sol Duc. Linda is enjoying the view from the bridge. Still toasty from the soak at the hot springs.
---

Soaking in Sol Duc Hot Springs was a great way to start the day! Sol Duc is a Quilute Indian word for sparkling water. In the 1880's Theodore Moritz staked a claim, built cedar tubs and soon folks were coming to soak in the healing waters.

We found snow up at Hurricane Ridge. It's 43 degrees, the wind is howling, Roxy's in the van drinking hot tea!
