After Striped Peak we drove down to Forks, WA. The sky was awesome, it was nice to not be driving in fog, as we had been seeing a lot of it.
Forks, WA is where the movie Twilight was filmed. So being the dork I am, I wanted to see the minimal sites offered. This is just down the street where Bella, a character in the movie lived. Oohh Aahh! We also saw the high school from the movie. No pictures because it wasn't to exciting.
We decided to stay at the rest area in Forks. This was our first dinner cooked out of the van. We have done a few breakfasts that worked out great. We had a dehydrated meal of teriyaki chicken, and added fresh broccoli. It was pretty good! We then snuggled up to watch a movie in the van, and fell asleep.
We woke up around 4:30 in the morning and drove down to the ocean. We watched the ocean for a while then slept a couple more hours. When we woke up again we took a walk on the beach. It was more rock then sand, so it made for a short walk.
This short wall I am standing in front of was all exposed rocks. Super cool looking

Then we drove down to Long Beach, WA, to go to Cape Disappointment. Funny name for a beautiful place. We found a great trail around 4 or 5 miles round trip. Coastal trails are the best with all the lush greenery around.
More Trees!
I found a salamander!
Another great tree shot!
This kind of looks like the claw of a giant bird :) Loving the different shots you are getting. You will be in really good shape if you keep taking all the long hikes!
