RE: Savage and Breathtaking is Second Beach in Washington State (La Push, Forks)

in #travel6 years ago

Beautiful shots and video of some of my favorite country in the world. My first forestry job was up on the Olympic Peninsula, it is quite a place. The kids are braver than me. I've lived near this coast for years, and STILL haven't' fully swam in the ocean. Too dang cold for this bird. And wild, I think you could end up over in Japan on some current-driven days.

Looking forward to more posts from your classic journey. I'm just now catching up. Been off here a lot. The visit to see Paul must have been a blast. He seems such a wise and giving soul, and his place is exactly as I'd imagined it. So cool to see the original painting from Reborn too.

Nothing like a road trip, and that one was surely an epic and exciting one. On to more posts from the drive across the continent.

You wouldn't catch my husband getting in that ocean for the same reason- he hates cold water. I did swim a little when we were in California, but I have to say that far North was a bit cold even for me.

Visiting Paul was awesome, he was exactly the man I knew he'd be. It's crazy and wonderful how you can develop a deep connection with someone without ever having 'met' them.

Where is it that you live again? I feel like you told me a long time ago, I knew it was out west. Montana? Say it's Montana because we hope to spend some time there next year :-)

Your hubs is a smart man. Getting in the Pacific up in the north is a chilly endeavor. I live over in western Oregon. So a far cry from Montana. Though I spent a bit of time over that way when I worked in the woods. What part are you headed for? That is one of the most beautiful places around, all that Big Sky country. Used to ski there too...STEEP mountains and deep powder to get lost in. Oh the joys.

I don't know why I thought Montana, I knew it was out west :) But western Oregon?? I'm sorry I didn't realize that before, we drove the whole length of 101 on that trip! Beautiful, I still plan to do a post on it.

Quite alright. I'm not exactly 'out there' on the Internet. Slowly, slowly getting there. It's actually kind of amazing I'm on here at all. Some people just take awhile. SOME day I may even put pictures of me on here. We can always hope (maybe).
The 101 coast route is amazing, think it's considered the roughest or wildest coastline in the world. Though I'm sure there are others. What's so cool, is that most of it is public. Very unusual in the world of today. I look forward to you post...though if you're like me, you have OODLES of photos to go through. Well, hope you have a most vundebar Halloween. Dressing up? Cheers.
