Backpacking the Olympic Coast and Lake Ozette (Days 3 and 4)

Over the long weekend Nick, Katie, Derek (Nick’s uncle), and I went backpacking along the Olympic Coast. This is part 2 of a 2-part series. See days 1 and 2 here.

Day 3 ( Sunday)

we woke up and contemplated our existence

then started the journey

I saw the tiniest star fish in existence

then we climbed over some rocks

and saw more starfish! starfish everywhere!

and these green sea things

we weren’t the only ones walking along the low tide beach

ah back to the sandy beach

we left Derek (as planned). We were to meet up with him farther south on Monday afternoon

and onward we marched

over trees

skirting around the incoming tide

lots of seagulls

occasionally we had to climb over a high pass because the ocean was in the way. good thing for this rope

then back down

we saw lots of floating balls and chromatic aberration

and nick found a crab

and I found another orange star fish

day 4 (monday)

then next morning we woke up to lots of fog and a low tide

we hiked the few short miles to the Rialto Beach hole-in-wall

and found a large, dead crab

and a larger, dead sea lion (gross)

and came across a bunch of fishermen and fisherladies

meanwhile nick and katie contemplated their existence
