So I got my own way today and instead of doing laundry which was what the rest of group proposed we took off to the western most point of the olympic penninsula. Primarly we were going to book tickets on the ferry to BC from Port Angeles but we were told we had to be there by 7am and none of us felt like getting up at 6am or leaving Port townsend just yet ( don't worry Bruce-we will leave eventually !)so instead we headed towards the Hoh Rain Forest in the Olympic national park. The rain forest grows only along the cost and in ocean facing valleys. In this picture we are only at about 500" above sea level.

The tree in this picture is a Sitka Spruce growing on the slopes of mount olympus and is 500 to 550 years old and stands at about 300". the rain forest it self is made up of many trees 200-1000 years old. Everything is covered in moss.

For all the Twilight fans-we also went into Forks (Dilly had no idea what we were talking about but Pat and I got her up to speed) and visited La Push Indian revervation.
