More hiking!

Two trips in a month - makes me happy!

We headed out Saturday for the Olympic Peninsula to hike to up the Duckabush River Valley. Rain was forecasted but we decided to go anyway.

The weather continues it's craziness this spring, it's the middle of April and there was snow on the ground in Olympia.


We stopped in Hoodsport to buy a trail park pass, and talked to a really nice lady who was obviously lonely but knew a lot about current conditions which was great!

Finally on the trail, and sun!



















Then it started to hail - and not just a little hail, more like "turn the trail white I can't tell if it's snowing"hail.


































We decided it was a good time to turn around and head to dinner in Port Townsend!
