If you don't like nature, Picture Day has no use for you!

Yes, it's a lot of green today! After we left Seattle in 1996 we took the long way back to Portland - we drove completely around the edge of the Olympic Peninsula, that big thumb thing west of Seattle. It's chock full of nature! Let's allow the nature to just wash over us!







Apparently, if the propaganda is to be believed, on the Olympic Peninsula sits the only rain forest in North America. That might be true or not, but I can't remember the definition of rain forest - it looks like a forest to me. It's still cool. Like this gnarled tree:


Lots of water up there, too. Nice streams and such:


Finally, that's my mom. She's standing on a petrified tree. You can barely tell it's a tree, but it sure is!


We didn't drive through Aberdeen, which is where Kurt Cobain lived, but apparently we didn't miss anything. We did stop at Port Angeles, which is actually a nice little town. The Olympic Peninsula is a pretty nifty place. If you're ever in Seattle, head west to check out some nature!
