The first place I headed off to was the Olympic Peninsula for a short trip to work out any kinks before I take off for the full 4 weeks. My plan is to go there for a couple of days, take some pictures, and then come back and get them processed to make sure everything is working Ok. Also, this would give me one last chance to go shopping for the things I forgot to buy.

So, I started off from Seattle in the morning and caught the 9:50am Bainbridge ferry. Crossed the Hood Canal,  passed through Sequim and Port Angeles, rounded Lake Crescent and then traversed my way through the Olympic National Forest. I made it to Mora campground around 1pm. Mora is located on the coast only about 3 miles from Rialto Beach and about 8 miles from the La Push Indian reservation (also on the coast near First Beach).

After setting up camp, I headed off to Rialto Beach for a few pictures. Rialto is one of m favorite beaches next to Ruby and Second Beach.
