Olympic Peninsula Camping, October 12-14 2007

Christine and I took a backpacking trip to northwest corner of the Olympic Peninsula. We camped near a lake on Friday night and then hiked to the beach and camped there on Saturday night, and returned to Seattle on Sunday evening.


Christine showed me how to bowdrill a fire.


She helped get it started.


Spinning glow poi.


At the trail head.


Hiking to the beach.


We reached the beach.


This deer had no fear of people.


Raccoon print


Gathering driftwood for fire.


Dancing on Saturday.


Lounging about on the rocks.


We saw intersing sea anemones in the tidal pools.


And these interesting mollusks


And this beautiful sunset


Here is our camp


On Sunday I started to make beach art


such as this star


And this face


Soon it was time to leave


We saw beautiful mushrooms


Such as this purple one here


We took the ferry back to Seattle.
