Hurricane Ridge
Last year, I drove Megan to Port Angeles on her birthday. I told her there are lots of fun things to do around there: Hurricane Ridge in the north Olympic Mountains, a few golf courses, waterfront activities, the ferry to Victoria BC, etc.
That trip didn’t go well. Because I hadn’t planned ahead and checked availability of hotel rooms, we drove all around the area looking for a place to stay, then finally gave up and drove all the way home in the middle of the night.
This time, I booked a reservation before we left home. Here are a few pictures of the ferry ride to Winslow, the drive here, Hurricane Ridge, and around Port Angeles. Oh, and Ike, minutes before we left home yesterday. What a cutie.
I hadn’t been to Hurricane Ridge since the late 60s. Looks pretty much the same as I remembered it.

Lovely pictures, as usual. Hey, how far were you from that deer? It looks (from the field of focus, I think you call it) that you weren’t really zooming much. Were you actually as close to it as it looks?
And I like the rustic little mom and pop motel with the wireless Internet access. Those Internets really seem to be taking off!

Yeah, we’re staying at that place next time, that’s why I took the picture. It’s right in the middle of town, walking distance to the waterfront, a block from the road to Hurricane Ridge.
And yes, I was that close to the deer. I kept creeping closer, and she didn’t seem to mind. Love it when that happens.
