Olympic National Park, Washington State

Hey All,

Well, we made it to our destination state, Washington, on Wednesday evening, we stayed on the Hood Canal Wednesday and Thursday nights. On Thursday we drove for two hours, until finally we got to Olympic National Park around 3:30 PM. By the time we finally got there all the visitor centers were almost closed. Daniel and Anna picked up their Junior Ranger activity booklets at the visitor center. We drove for about another hour until we reached Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center.  Hurricane Ridge is a beautiful stretch of mountains, some of the higher peaks even had snow on them! After  moseying around the gift shop, Daniel and Anna got their Junior Ranger badges and we left for the three hour drive back to the RV. On our way to the RV, about 10 miles from the RV park, we saw a elk cross the road, when we looked, on the other side of the road we saw about 30 elk! A whole herd! We tried to get some pictures, but we couldn't quite get them, it was dusk and they turned out dark.  Anyway, here are some  of the few pictures we took!

Not in the park, but the land in the back
is the Canada-US border!
A deer we saw along the road in the park.
