Just as we were leaving Garibaldi Sharyn called me over ...
... to see three bald eagles in the bay just in front of the RV - two flew away but I did get this guy in a few pictures...
...and when we landed at our new home at Shadow Mountain RV park we were greeted by this Western Tanager, the bird, not a western Teenager.
Port Angeles is a great place even though it is about 15 miles away from the campsite it is a fascinating place. We went to the port and found the Marine Life Center...
... this colorful murals...
... views of ocean tankers ...
and an Octopus sculpture...
...and on the way back to Shadow Mountain a breathtaking view of some of the Olympic Mountain Range.
We next drove to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and saw two deer grazing a field...
... saw a jogger running this coastal trail...
...a beautiful red poppy...
... and the New Dungeness Lighthouse.
on the way back to the RV Park we stopped at the Dungeness Valley Creamery...
... where I tried their Udderly Delicious Raw Whole Milk - Yummy.
Today we drove to Crescent Lake in the Olympic National Park and spotted another deer on the payroll of the Park Service...
... and found time for a selfie in front of a huge...
...tree.
There is a nice looking lodge at Crescent Lake with several very nice lakeside cottages...
... and of course a great lodge with a really nice restaurant...
and some wonderfully whimsical flowers...
... some great recreational opportunities including great trails and boating thrills ...
... and several relaxing views.
