We got up
and enjoyed our beautiful campsite by having breakfast outside. Then we headed
out of Sol Doc, giving up the reservation for the second day, and obtained a
permit to camp out on Cape Alava in the wild (!). The road there took about an
hour and a half, like everything in Washington... We passed through Neah Bay
and looked at the Makah tribe museum, where they explained quite beautifully
about an original home they had excavated at Ozette and found many stories of
their ancestors confirmed. Some of the new data gathered even allowed them to
regain some rights, like fishing with nets.
Then we
went on to Cape Flattery, where we hiked 20 minutes to the shoreline, which was
absolutely stunning! Reminded us very much of Point Lobos and Monterey.
And then we
went down to Lake Ozette where we packed up the tent, put the food in the bear
proof boxes, packed up everything else, and hiked about an hour and a half to
the shore. We arrived at the ocean about an hour before sunset and had plenty
of time to pick the site right on the shore and put up the tent. Then we all enjoyed
the beautiful sunset at the beach. The kids were running up and down the beach
climbing on the numerous trees that were lying around as driftwood, and they
saw lots of crabs on the beach. Selma was getting cold, but the boys kept
waiting for the stars to come out. We eventually gave up, because it took the
stars too long.
Then we
went to sleep. We found out that seals stop making noise at night, but frogs
unfortunately do not.
