Vacation posting part 2

Day 3 started with a bike ride along the discovery trail towards Sequoium. Next was our drive along the coast to Cape Flattery, and this is a drive you just can’t believe. The most twisty, turning crazy roads I have ever been on. My husband was trying to control his male hormonal urge to take the turns at 60 mph and I was screaming for him to slow down the entire trip. We then hiked straight down in the rain to see what can only be described as something from another world, we really felt like we had just entered another planet. Oh, and I should mention that Cape Flattery is the most western point in the United States. Hiking back up in the rain and by this time dark got my heart racing again followed by another round of those roads to get back home. The following morning we drove to the Hoh rain forest walked through the hall of mosses (which reminded us both of the wizard of oz) then hiked the Hoh trail and came face to face with a bull Elk, apparently we came much to close to this Elk but we escaped unharmed. We ate lunch in the now famous town of Forks, the town where the Vampire series of books Twilight takes place. Another side note… I couldn’t resist reading the book that I was hearing so much about and am now completely obsessed and hooked on this series. We next checked into the Monitou Lodge (very cool spot, I highly recomend) and went onwards to the breathtaking 2nd beach. You have to climb over tons of driftwood just to get to the beach which changes hourly with the tides. This is like no beach here on the west coast and was a awe inspiring scene. We also visited Rialto beach that night to see the sunset and then back to sleep in our cool lodge. More coming tomorrow….
