We are still in Olalla, Washington. We’ve been exploring different areas of the peninsula each day. Yesterday, we took our first ride on a Washington State Ferry and crossed the sound to lower Seattle and then to Vashon Island. How cool! Didn’t see any wildlife on the ride, but the sound is absolutely beautiful. We drove around Vashon Island and stopped in a little restaurant for a snack. Today we drove to Fox Island and rode around. We’ve got just a few more days here before heading to the North Cascades and camping again. It was very smokey yesterday but much breezier and clearer today. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow – the first since we’ve been here. This evening, we could actually see Mt. Rainier across the sound as we were driving around. I just really love it here. It has cooled back off and back down to “normal” temps. in the 70’s. Not sure what adventures we’ll take tomorrow and Sunday. Monday, we will pack up our things and tidy up the house. Our houseowners will be back Monday evening and we leave Tuesday morning. I will miss this peninsula. Breaking news tonight – a SeaTac employee stole a commuter plane and crashed into the sound south of us, catching the area on fire. Not dull here.
