The Wandering Beaver: On the Road Again

After an entire summer back at home in Bend, we hit the road again on Thursday, September 29th. We headed up to Portland, about a 3.5 hour drive, to Columbia River RV. We only stayed 2 nights, but it gave me a chance to get my hair fixed up and for us to go to OMSI, which is always fun!

Run for your lives!

Cheering for his stuck ship

From Portland we headed over into Washington to a tiny little resort in Silverlake by the same name. We found Bigfoot while we there.

He's bigger than I'd pictured

Our goal in staying here was to go up and see Mount St Helen's, but fall weather in Washington wasn't very cooperative. We saw a few glimpses of her before going into the visitor center, but by the time we came out the fog had really rolled in!

Mount St Helen's is back there. I swear.

We decided to drive around the Olympic Peninsula since we had time, first driving over to the Quinault rainforest. We stayed at the Rainforest Resort, where the rain is plentiful, but the internet is not.

Our beautiful Beaver

The world's largest Spruce, and Porter

We did stay right next to the world's largest spruce though, which was fun. And really the entire area is just beautiful. We only stayed a single night in Quinault. On Monday, the 3rd of October we headed up to Forks, Washington. We stayed there 2 nights and went to the Hoh Rainforest (one of my favorite places on earth), and over to see the ocean at Rialto Beach
