Did you say rainforest? Yes, a rainforest in Washington! This may not be news to some of you but I was taken completely by surprise when I heard there was a rainforest in Washington. While approaching the rainforest it began to rain. It shouldn't have, but it took us a moment to realize, rainforest=rain. And it rained... the entire time! The forest was extraordinary, rain pattering on the lake, fog lifting to make a glowing grey sky and no sounds other than one magnificent bird singing for us. We hiked along the Quinault River in the greenest place I have ever seen in my whole life! We fabricated a raincoat for Clovey out of a plastic bag and T-shirt, which gladly tromped through the forest with. If you want to get a feel for the area watch any "Twilight" movie, they were filmed in this forest (The Olympic National Forest/Park)! I bet you didn't know the Lorax lived in Quinault!
Dear Sterling, Erika and Clovey:
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures of the rain forest and Astoria, but the best was Clovey's cool raincoat.
All is good on the home front....guarding the castle.
I gave Denise your blog address and she will check it out.
Thank you for sharing your journey with me.....it's deeply appreciated.
