First day off the ship

September 23, 2012-- Sunday----

We had no trouble disembarking the ship,,,, except I would have stayed if I could have!

We decided to take the ferry across the bay towards Oylmpic national park instead of driving the interstate down and around.
We had a pretty ride out of Seattle.
 
Our view of Seattle from the ferry.
 
Don on the Ferry.. notice he has his sweatshirt on because it was a little cool on the boat even though it was a beautiful sunny day!
 

 
 
Here I am on the Ferry.... I even had to put my hood up, but we enjoyed the ride more that a highway drive!
 
View of the shoreline across from Seattle.  Many people come across the bay on the Ferry for the weekend to visit this area of Washington.

Some views along the road towards Olympic National Park.  Pretty but very congested!!!






 
We drove to just past Forks, Wa.  Good weather was still with us even though Forks is one of the wettest areas in the United States.  Forks is a sad looking little town, hanging by a thread with the Twilight fame.  Everything was very expensive here. 
 
We camp at a State Park just outside of Forks.  We got the last camsite with electricity which is important because it gets pretty cool at night and we need to run our little heater.
This is a rainforest type camp and is quite pretty.
Tomorrow we will do jobs and go into the Olympic National Part.
