I will make this quick as laptop battery is precious. I am typing now from an rv. I kind lady at the grocery store in Port Angeles, WA overheard me telling someone else that my tent is soaked from camping in the rain forest last night. "Why dont you stay in my rv? It's parked right in front of my house." How could I pass that up? So here I sit.
Last night I ended up camping in the Hoh Rain Forest. I could hear the glacial river flowing behind me at night. I worked up enough energy to cook ramen in the rain. Pretty impressive, I know. When walking towards the facilities for the first time I saw a slug on the road. Doing a service to humanity I picked it up, poked at it just enough to make it squirm, and placed it back in the grass, saving it's precious little life. Well, little did I know these things are taking over. They are everywhere and impossible to avoid. A ton of them were on the road, and on trails. I am pretty sure they live miserable lives and must have death wishes.
I woke up this morning a little wet. Not wet all over, just my head and feet. The significant rainfall was enough to seep in along the sides of the tent. Not cool. Since I woke up wet I figured I'd keep up the trend and went for a hike around the corner from my campsite. It was amazing. Pics...many pics...to come. My knee held up well for the 6 miles too!
The good and bad news of the day is that I have a job interview next week. Clearly good because income is pretty rad. Not so good because I am just getting started here on this little journey. So, I shall return to Portland at the end of June. For now, I leave for the musty smell of the rv and a peanut butter sandwich. Oh, how I'll miss traveling cheap.
