Our 46th Anniversary September 10

We're in Westport WA, after driving south yesterday on 101 from the primeval Hoh rain forest in Olympic National Park. In Hoh we walked the Mosses trail where a circle of 100 ft maple trees dressed in yards of moss adorning their crowns & arms were holding a party. The gnome homes varied from single 1 family to 3 story apartments & whole cities!! The nurse log on the Spruce trail had 6 Sitka Spruce trees 200 ft tal!- with remnants of the fallen decaying Spruce ( now the nurse log ) still visible. Do you c the mushroom face on the picture of the tree? We biked to the ranger station & back to our campsite #73 on the Hoh river. We learned that 2 kinds of bats live in the crevased bark of the 200 ft Douglas fir trees. A Magical place indeed.
