Saturday, August 2 - Beaches, Fog and Forks

In the morning after a rather not so quiet night we find out that there is very thick fog and the tent is actually soaking wet. However, in the course of the morning, it clears up and suddenly there is a hole in the fog and we manage to extend the tent on a tree trun and almost dry it. We pack it up and start hiking along the beach to Sand Point. Unfortunately, the fog returns and does not go away during the whole hike… We even miss the petroglyphs at wedding rock. Fortunately, we do not miss the turnoff to go back to the Ozette Ranger station, a total of 6 miles.





Klaus had promised Selma a coffee shop after the strenuous and foggy morning, so we go directly to fork, just to find out that there really is no coffee shop. However, we find a restaurant and stop to have some burgers. Markus still remembers the WIFI password, and we found out that they do have forks in Forks. At least something!


After that, we go on to La Push beach and the entire coast on the Olympic Peninsula, but it is all in fog. Apart from that, in La Push there is a wedding, a big retreat and a surfing competition, so everything is booked. We end up sleeping in a rather “normal” RV park, but at least we have a shower and are all hooked up, so life is good after all. And we are looking forward to the next day in Hoh Rain Forest.
