Hellllooooo....from The Valley of the Rain Forest !

Good Evening !

We are all settled in at our campsite for the night.

We drove from Eugene Oregon this morning to Lake Quinault, Washington.

Our morning started as we left the RV Park in Eugene, we saw there were TONS of Blackberries on the side of the road growing wild ...Ripe and ready for us to enjoy with our morning yogurt and granola ! PERFECT !

Oh my gosh ! We had such fun picking bowls of blackberries. We brought them in the RV, washed them up and made our breakfast :-)

I know Mark had it, in the back of his mind to check out the Rainforest up here....his friend Bob, who used to live up in the San Juan Islands told him to check it out.

So, that looks like where we are heading.

We drove for about 4 hours today. I made a platter of Smoked Salmon, Humbolt Fog Cheese, banana peppers and crackers for lunch.

We drove Hwy 5, then took 12...into Aberdeen and on up to Lake Quinault

(Olympic National Forest)

We barley saw the sun most of the day and that's okay with us. It's just beautiful here,

So many different trees and ferns and plants and flowers and moss ...everywhere !

We checked in at the local store, as the RV spots are first come first serve basis.

We took spot #1. It's the closest to the lake and there is hardly anyone here.

Nice !

It's very peaceful here. As I am writing this, I hear nothing...seriously.... nothing.

Mark is asleep on the sofa, Jack on the other sofa and Jorge on the floor.

They ran so much this afternoon and had their dinner and are passed out, YES, Mark too !

We took a walk a little bit ago to see The Largest Sitka Spruce in the world. It is literally, steps away from our RV.
