8/5 Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge

This day I drove to Port Angeles to have dinner with some old friends from high school.  They kindly drove me up to Hurricane Ridge, named obviously for the strong winds.  Check out the very tame deer.  I think I could have reached out and petted a couple.  No fear whatsoever.

Here are my friends, Jan, Ron, and me on Hurricane Ridge. 

I liked this map of the Olympic National Park because it shows how the mountains are really a jumble of inaccessible peaks, except that Jan and Ron have actually climbed one of these!!

I'll be driving up to some of the other areas within the National Park next week when I will be staying closer to Port Angeles.
