The Dosewallips Road access to Olympic National Park has been washed out for close to 20 years now … they are still planning on re-routing the access road into the Dosewallips Flats area. Sometime. In the meantime, it’s a great hike, early spring through late autumn. This was October 7th. We hiked in 2.5 miles and back out. The dog was tired. Dog Tired.
The Larry Scott Trail is a rails-to-trails project that runs south of Port Townsend, WA. It is intended to be a section of the Olympic Discovery Trail, running from Port Townsend across the northern Olympic Peninsula to the Pacific. Some of the folks along the trail decorate this fence post with flowers from their yard. It’s a very nice thing to do.
The northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains make a wonderful backdrop for the marina and the Port Townsend Paper Mill.
These wonderful old doors are on the old cannery building in downtown Port Townsend. The building is now used as a private residence or office. The folks that live or work there are not very friendly … I assume that they get tired of folks knocking on the doors wanting to see inside.
Someone spent a lot of time building these cairns on the beach in downtown Port Townsend. I’ve done a little of this, but nothing this extensive or elaborate. Pretty impressive.
