We're going to have 3 nice days on the Olympic Peninsula and maybe not again for a while. So I'm going to try to snag a campsite at the Graves Creek Campground in the Olympic National Park and with 30 campsites on a no RV road, it MIGHT be possible. It's going to start raining there a lot. Something about it being a rain forest. Lots of descriptions of the trip online. Heading out Thursday Sept. 18 AM. PA to Quinault. Going to use Friday to get into trouble and then slink back home on Saturday.
Wishing you blue skies, and good dirt! 🍻

And thank you, it worked! I had blue skies (mostly) and dry dirt. I had to make a call out because you don't find good weather, and no crowds in a national park very often. 30 campsites and in the morning there were only 5 taken. I found a sort of trail that wound into the rainforest for a half mile or so, really quiet and dark. It was as lush and rainforesty as the Hoh rainforest where people wait on the road for hours to get into the parking lot. Not what you woudl call a wilderness experience there. But you can see from the photos that it rains so much it washes all the nutrients out of the soil and all that grows is really not woody browse. No deer, no sign of elk, very few signs of rodents, and as a consequence none of the furry folk that feed on such like.
This is what the park service calls narrow and dangerous...
Wow! Stunning area. I need to break out the Air Wick Forest Scent air freshener, and review this!
What a trip! 🤩
