Cape Flattery

Man, what a drive that was from Port Angeles! It might have been better with company, maybe not 🙂 I headed out last week to the ends of the earth – Washington style; basically the most northwestern point in the lower United States. It was cloudy, raining and foggy the entire drive/hike out to the cape. Where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean makes for a beautiful sight to behold.

Just drive up for snow

This has been the best winter of my life in regards to weather…minus those years I lived in Florida of course! Port Angeles has given us such a mild winter, especially compared to the brutal winters on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. I haven’t seen it snow yet, I suppose we live too close to the water at sea level, but I keep hearing about people getting snow here. I figured it was a nice beautiful sunny day on along the waterfront, i was going to go find this snow.  So I headed of Mt. Angeles Road and it literally took about 5 minutes and I was in snow. :))
