The Olympic Peninsula

NOVEMBER 11 - 12, 2007

Christy and I took our high-valued Canadian dollar ($1.04!), decided to brave the long border wait and headed down to the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park in Washington State for the November long weekend. The weather wasn't great (to say the least!), but the area is incredibly beautiful. The "storm of the month" blew through the area and on Monday morning trees were blown down everywhere, ferries delayed, bridges closed, and the power was out in most of the towns on the peninsula... but we still went hiking!
