Neah Bay was as expected, maybe a little bigger, an Indian
reserve with some disorganization, and some newer places. There were yard,
garage, and other sales all the way, we found out that it was an organised peninsula
sale day, sell yours and buy someone else's is what we were told. We didn't
participate, as we are working at reducing our stuff!
Bumpy, but paved road from Neah Bay to trailhead to Cape
Flattery was a nice drive, many signs all the way saying no drugs, or Alcohol
here on the reserve, as well as many letting you know AA meeting's available. Beauty
drive here, and parking was easy, as people are leaving often. Polly has a pee
in "the worst smelling toilet she has ever been in" not impressed. Me
I will pee behind a tree somewhere.
The trail was just dam perfect, dry mostly today, and wide
at the start through older forest, with light filtered in through the canopy.
As we got further narrow boardwalks walks of thick, split cedar boards were
built, and well built. No broken boards, and well done, with some 90degree corners.
Made for some interesting photos. As we approached
the water's edge, we were treated to some of the best views, foggy edges, with clearing
spots, and sun making its way through. Polly always concerned I go too close to
the edge, but I was careful, and she was ok with my looking.
Trails end was a 20' by20' viewing deck, with a steep, set
of steps.. Well more like a ladder, that had huge spaces from step to step. Not
really good for older people. Once on the deck though was a beauty view of the immediate
waters, but fogged in toward the light house on the island close by. Talking to
one person there I was told they had a viewing of an Orca about 1/2 hour
before, so some action. I was saying how not many birds, and all of a sudden a immature
Bald Eagle sores over us, about 20' above, was really nice! All in all was a
nice walk on a beauty day, fog treating us on and off to varied, beauty views.
Our trip back was nice, looking forward to the best burger
around, I was told by a man at the hardware store in Forks. On the road to La
Push, we stopped at Three Rivers resort restaurant that many in the area
stopped in at, and were treated to a great burger, and a show when someone
ordered the wolf man burger, that you had to howl to be able to get it.
Twilight is huge here around Forks, and we saw many places that made a big deal
out of it. The movie made the area a draw for lovers of the movie.
After our burger we headed to the beach al La Push, and soon
were treated to many cops in trucks, stopping people for Speeding? Signs posted
were 25mph, so easy to make the mistake and go too fast. La Push was a nice
place, but trying to mix a commercial marina for fish boats, and all the
trucking of stuff needed, along with a resort area didn't work for us. We took
a few pics, and off we went before we got a ticket.. Tired now, wanted to be
home, we went past Mora rd, and though to look at Rialto beach, but time to be
home. Next time will have to check this out.
Wind was coming up, and I was worried as we left the awning
out , and didn't want to have that problem. A beer and Guacamole and Nachos was
the plan, and get ready to leave tomorrow. After lowering the awning to deflect
the wind, I fueled up, and made sure we had most all ready to go tomorrow, just
in case rain was here in the morning.
As we were getting ready, we got a message that we couldn't
get on our cell, now I had a different job, get the phone working, with no
service. Well that wasn't fun. Between
trying to talk with new neighbours, and going back and forth to the office down
the road a couple blocks, to get wi-fi, I missed the sunny evening I was
looking forward to enjoying. Finally got service, but now not clear, so good
the neighbour had service, and asked if I wanted to use their phone. The message was from the next RV park we would
stay at, so good we got that cleared up.
Poker that night Polly got the jump on me, and beat the
pants off me, so off to bed. Another fun day, and travel to Long Beach tomorrow.
