They left us today for other friends in Portland. Chuck and Carla did shake their bootie a few times, though. Jim and Kim were enamored with Prancer, a two year old who tried to get everyone to dance with her. They had water, tea and coffee, a G rated dance with kids and dogs. Hans and Lisa told us about a barn dance in Sequim on Saturday night, which sounded like fun, so we all went out partying on Chuck and Carla’s last night with the gang.

We could just make out the lighthouse with snow-capped Mt. I just hate giving up on a hike in the middle of it! Kudos to Suzanne and Nina, who last month made the pilgrimage.

Had we walked 5.5 miles we would have come to the New Dungeness Lighthouse, but everyone had enough after we were about halfway there so we turned back. On Saturday, Chuck and Carla, Debbie, Kim and I left Jim at home to rest his ailing leg while we went off to hike the Dungeness Spit, one of the longest natural sand spits in the country. We had a delicious meal of vegan chili, with fruit and chocolate for dessert, then walked off our dinner around the John Wayne Marina on Sequim Bay.

Lisa, Hans, Gayle, and Jim, sitting and eating dinner at a table, like in a real house! We’ve been following each others blogs for a good while now, and have done many hikes based on their write-ups, so it was great to finally meet. That evening we were invited to dinner at the lovely, large 5th wheel home of Hans and Lisa, from Metamorphosis Road, who are staying at an RV park just a few miles from the casino. There haven’t been more than a dozen or so rigs each night we’ve been here so far, and it’s fairly quiet for being close to 101.Īfter getting set up we headed back about seven miles to town where Jim dropped me off at the laundromat while he went to Walmart and got a new battery installed in the Subaru, along with purchasing a set of jumper cables. Not that it matters, but I’m always curious about the meaning of these odd names.ħ Cedars has a nice parking lot in the back where RVs are permitted to overnight. The name was thought to mean “quiet waters”, but was later translated by a Klallam tribal linguist to mean “ a place for going to shoot”. On Friday morning we left Port Angeles for a a short 28 mile drive to Sequim, WA (pronounced skwim).
