Day 67: Along the Strait of Juan de Fuca in Washington


We had a relaxing Saturday at Salt Creek.   After a late breakfast, we hiked part of the trail up to Striped Peak, a trail which went through the ferns, moss, and very tall cedars that are typical of western Washington.  Later in the day, we walked along the path that followed the cliffs, looking for shore birds.  The fog moved in during late afternoon, dropping the temperature, so the early campfire felt quite good. I had put beef and veggies in the crockpot, so we had an easy dinner and retreated to the warmth of the RV. 


We now have neighbors on either side of us: the couple who are going to be campground hosts are still to our left, while a couple from southern California moved in on the right.  The campground has been busy all day, with kids on their bikes, people mingling, and a large church group picnicking in the pavilion.  Deer seem to be quite tame, hanging out in the big field across the road.  There have been kids in the same field, racing their remote-control car, which seems to make Ranger crazy and wild.   Lots of stimulation for him at this park!  I hope he sleeps well tonight.
