Captain's Log - Day 21 - Vampires?As we got ready to leave this morning, this was parked outside our hotel. We figured that the authorities finally caught up with us! We were out of there before the agent saw us, don't worry! I wanted Dawn to go ask what the story behind the car was, but she was chicken. Surprised?
Next - the temporal rain forest of Washington, the Olympic Rain Forest. We spent several hours hiking the trails and Dawn really made me pay for taking her on the long hike to the waterfall the other day. She is such a baby sometimes! Haha. You should have seen her as we hiked through the forest - she was really jumpy every time something would move in the brush. Like, when was the last time an anaconda hurt anyone, right? Aren't they more afraid of us than we are of them?
Next stop, Lake Quinalt, WA. More hiking and lunch. Peaceful. Crystal clear water. What more could we ask for?
Next stop, the largest spruce tree in the world. This sucker was huge! I'm standing on the trunk of this thing, right against the tree and you can see that my 6' wingspan doesn't even come close to reaching the edges of the tree! On our hikes today, we saw some pretty magnificent old growth trees.
Next, we had to take in some of the beaches in the area. You know me, the ocean always has a unique calling on my heart so I have to spend some time there. This is Beach 4, in Olympic National Park, WA.
On the beach we found some tide pools where all kinds of creatures can be seen. Here are some sea anemones and a starfish. Quite the amazing creatures!

Next stop, Forks, WA, where the Twilight series takes place. They have a booming business surrounding the story and of course we had to stop in to get something for Jackie. No vampires around though - at least we didn't see any of them glistening!
Finally, after a pretty cold ride, we landed in Port Angeles, WA., a very nice, quiet town. It too, is part of the Twilight storyline so you see things here and there in relation to the story. But, again, no vampires here. Don't worry though, we plan to sleep with garlic around our necks and a huge crucifix hanging over the door!

God has continued to shower his blessings on our trip! He has created so much around us that brings awe and wonder and the more we look, the more we are amazed at what he has done! We pray that he will continue to grant us safety and good weather all the way home.
Tomorrow we officially begin our trek back in an easterly direction. Hard to believe we have been on the road for three weeks already! Looking forward to seeing you guys again soon. Take care!
