On Tuesday, we drove 54 miles to Elwha Dam RV Park in Port Angeles, Washington. This is a very tight RV park where we once again did not have sewer hookups in site B1.

On Wednesday, we took a couple of hikes near Cresent Lake. The short lodge trail, and then the Marymere Falls Trail which was 2.1 miles and very nice. after the hike, we had lunch at the Lodge. A few of us then went to the Barhop Brewery for beer and food and then finished with a walk in the area.

On Thursday morning, 4 of us drove “Dear Park Road” to the top of Blue Mountain (6010 feet) for some great views of the mountain. In the afternoon, we rented eBikes and rode the Spruce Railroad trail @ Lake Crescent. We rode 10 miles along the north shore and then returned.

On Saturday, we traveled 40 miles to Port Townsand and Fort Worden State Park taking a ferry to save 3 hours of driving around Seattle.

Before taking the ferry, we stopped at Fort Casey. Constructed in the late 1800s, Fort Casey was equipped for defense and used as a training facility up to the mid-1940s. The fort houses a pair of rare 10-inch disappearing guns. While the guns were the height of technology in the early 1900s, improvements in warships and the advent of airplanes soon rendered them obsolete. Two additional 3-inch mounted guns are also on display in their original emplacements.
