I'm heading out on a little drive out to the Olympic Peninsula in the wee hours of the morning. I am really looking forward to this trip, I haven't been farther west than Bainbridge Island since being out here in the Northwest and I am excited to wander around the OP for a couple days and make photos. To get to Forks from Seattle I am driving about 30 minutes north of the city to Edmonds and then taking a ferry across the Puget Sound. From there it is about a 2 and a half hour drive according the google.
I'm assigned to cover the small town called Forks, Washington. Forks is the featured town for the fictional series of Twilight books and the soon to be released Twilight movie. I don't know too much about the series or the movie, all I know is that it is based around vampires, a love story between a vampire and a human, and the conflict that comes with that relationship. You can read more about the books, movie, and the town here http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html
I'll be in Forks until Saturday around noonish or so and then I am thinking of either heading just straight west out of the town to the ocean.... or going a tad out of my way to trek up to the northwestern most point of the continental United States. Any suggestions?
Then just cruising back to Seattle.
The OP gets a ton of rain and as you can see I think I'll be getting pretty wet over the next couple days. I won't let that dampen my spirits however.
4:30am is going to come quickly. I'll be on the look out for vampires offering me apples for sure.
Cheers,
-Brad

Oh my. So much rain.
If you have time, try to explore as much as you can.
And that little north-western tip looks tempting, I must say.
that's why it's a rainforest.
