Olympic National Park – Hoh Rainforest, Washington

You guessed it – raining on the day we went to the rainforest, but we have to say it only added to the experience. A slight drizzle lasted during our entire hike through the forest.

One of the most colorful and absolutely beautiful fungi we have ever seen.

We weren’t in the little town of Forks very long before we realized we were in the midst of “Twilight Zone.” Since the popular movie, Twilight was shot here not too long ago the little town has become something of a tourist attraction for those interested in vampires. When Jim saw the first sign referring to the Twilight Zone, he immediately related it to Rod Sterling’s TV show, which was popular in the late 1950s.

On the way back from the forest we started to notice all the massive blackberry bushes lining the road and just like the bears in the woods, we needed a snack. With both of us picking we got a bag full. It not only made a snack for this afternoon but the next morning as well.
