--11_07_2008_Out to the OP (Olympic Peninsula)--
The day started early on Friday. To make the most out of the daylight I left for Forks, Wa at 4:45 am in order to catch the 5:45 am Edmonds ferry. The total trip out to Forks ended up taking just under 4 or so hours including waiting for the ferry and the 20 minute or so ride from Edmonds to Kirkland on the west side of the sound.
Since I left so early a lot of the drive was in the dark and I needed to make it to Forks early to check in and start working.... So I didn't stop to take any photos on the way out, however I did snap a few through the window on the way.
If you ever have the chance, driving out and around the peninsula on highway 101 is an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it if you ever have the chance. I only did the northern part of the road, but that includes going through park of the Olympic National Park, past a beautiful lake named Crescent, and passing a few port towns along the Strait of Juan De Fuca.
For the drive be sure to have your I Pod loaded to the gills and let it run on shuffle. It seems like every song sounds better while driving through a temperate rain forest.
More to come from the weekend.
