We started the day with a lovely 16 mile bike ride with Lys, who is such a wonderful font of information about the history of the trail, the town, the foliage, and the politics. In other words, absolutely captivating. Florida lost a major asset when Dan & Lys moved from High Springs.
Then we put the bikes back on the rack, and made our way West on 101 to the Olympic Peninsula. Past Sequim, past Port Angeles, past Forks, before turning East into Hoh. We got very lucky with a one lane section of construction, being the last vehicle in the caravan.
Not many people choose to camp at Hoh, based on the wide selection of sites we had. We chose a site on the river so we could watch the endless flow of glacier water from our chairs.
Of course we couldn't enjoy our new backyard until we explored the immediate area. A short hike to the (closed) Visitors Center, and a quick reconnoiter of the trail options. The Mini was more an introduction to the trailheads of the other trails. It was quick and easy, with suggestions that the longer trails will be worth it.
