We've done quite a bit since the last blog. We visited the Hoh Rain Forest from Forks. We did a short trail which was called 'Hall of Mosses' - everything was covered in moss and things like fallen trees had new trees and plants growing on top of them.
We left Forks and headed off the Olympic peninsula by ferry to the group of islands North of Seattle.
We stayed the night near a town called Anacortes where we went to another brewery for some dinner. The food was probably the best meal we have had. The beer was good too, so I bought half a gallon of it and they gave us 2 free drinks too!
Next day we drove to a place called Concrete which was a random personal goal of ours to visit this place. We took some pictures and drove down to the North outskirts of Seattle where we stayed one night.
We only spent one day actually in Seattle but managed to fit quite a bit in. We went to the Space Needle which had amazing views of the city. This took up quite a bit of time due to the parking being quite tough to find for a 25ft RV.
After the Space Needle we headed toward our next park where we checked in, then headed out straight away to play mini golf and get some food. Once we finished eating we went to a drive-in movie theatre, just to experience it basically. We had to be at the back but the view was still pretty good.
Since Seattle we have driven to Idaho with one stop half way at Moses Lake:
We are now at Coeur D'Alene for 3 nights. The weather is hot and dry mostly here. We went to play golf today but ended up just on the driving range - I think some more practise is needed! We're going to check out the town tomorrow as its within walking distance, then will be heading into Montana and onto Yellowstone.
Enjoyed reading your latest news. We noticed you couldnt resist Mini Golf- its down to all the times played on holiday in France! Just wondering are you on target with your route?

Good to have an update - think Seattle looks a really good city - have read that it's very cosmopolitan - what did you think?
ReplyDeleteAmbitions to visit Concrete? Strange!

We are still on target or even ahead - cutting the mileage down a bit. The route we planned before we left was about 2900 miles to seattle, we had done 3000 so we know we aren't doing too much.
ReplyDeleteSeattle seemed really nice although we only stopped at the space needle, but it was more picturesque than we expected, it was a bit like san francisco in a way.
