Port Angeles to Minnie Peterson Campground

Most of the day was spent driving with a quick stop in Port Angeles. All of the tourist attractions were closed since it was a weekday, so we didn't get to see the museum or discovery center.

We continued driving on 101 until we reached Lake Crescent. It was pouring, but we needed to run the dogs. I'm not a huge fan of rain, but as far as rainy days go, this was a pretty nice one. For all you Twilight fans, we weren't very far from Forks, WA where some of the movie was filmed.

The dogs on the dock - Magnus looks ferocious. And yes, they did go in the water.


I wouldn't normally post a picture with rain drops on the lens, but I wanted you to see how much water was coming down while we were there.


We stayed the night at the Minnie Peterson Campground, a free site just outside the Olympic National Park entrance for the Hoh Rainforest. I think we were about 7 miles from the park, but we didn't have to pay the park entrance fee or camping fee.

We woke up to absolutely gorgeous, lush rainforest. It rained most of the night, so there was water dripping off the trees and leaves.
