June 6-July 6th, Washington

We wandered downtown Port Angeles on the June 6th, where we posed with one of the dozens of sculptures around town.

On the 7th, we headed up to Deer Park to take a spectacular view of Hurricane ridge we'd been told about... gorgeous as promised.

Gae was preparing for the upcoming Port Angeles Garden Club meeting, creating a hat with a bee on it (Bee in a Bonnet theme), arriving at this colorful display:-)

My buddy Mike came out to PA for a bike ride on the Adventure Trail portion of the Discovery trail... great ride with nice views. Now we just need to cover the remaining 25 miles!

My nephew Zach, his girlfriend Iris, and their new family addition, Joey came to visit on the 16th, where we wandered the Peabody Creek trail that runs by the end of our block.

Zach's Mom and Dad joined in the visit on the 18th, where we caught up since our last visit at Christmas. Three generations!

Gae and I attended the PA Garden Club luncheon on the 19th, for a nice lunch and live entertainment (member presentations).

Gae and I rode the Discovery Trail along the waterfront to check out the areas of her responsibility in her new role at the Garden Club. Thankfully a large volunteer group will spread the load maintaining the trail and garden beds downtown.

The neighbor's girlfriend stopped by with 9 German Shepherd puppies she was selling. I gotta say, timing is everything, as Gae happened to hear them yipping, checked out the noise and added another member to the family. Meet Raina:-) Kind of hard to see between the two white pups.

I got over to Seattle for a round of golf with Andy and Mike on the 29th, followed by a Mariners game on the 30th. The team started well, but was crushed by the end of the game... fun time in spite of the score.

July 2nd I joined our visitors Debb and Kipp for a tide-pooling session out at Salt Creek Rec Area in the perfect weather.

It was a great day for seeing some amazing creatures in the pools, like this purple Sea Urchin.

Gae skipped the tide pooling to join in on a church group hike to Madison Falls, near the Elwa River.

Rob and Ben joined us for the weekend of July 3rd, and were happy to get up to Deer Park to take in the views. Behind them is Port Angeles with the Ediz Hook and the Strait of Juan De Fuca.

We made another trip to Deer Park with Kipp and Deb on the 4th, where the haze from Canadian Fires shortened viewing distances.

We took the Blackball ferry to Victoria on the 6th to visit Butchart Gardens... another flawless day:-)

The gardens were as spectacular as we remembered from our last visit over 30 years ago.

Here's Deb and Kipp in a tunnel of roses.

Gae wanted to ride the carousel, but we limited her to the bronze stationary horse... chalk up another injury free outing!

We headed for Chinatown after the gardens for some food, where we had to travel the narrowest street in Victoria. Built originally to keep the police from approaching illicit business by horse, giving owners and patrons time to hide their dirty laundry. I would HIGHLY recommend the Fan Tan Cafe, and specifically Spicy Lo Wor Won Ton, unbelievable good!

Collin and I launched our little powerboat at Port Angeles this morning. Actually, it was just Collin who launched the boat. On a brilliant morning inside Ediz Hook, the water was calm and the boat ran great.

A Disaster the Size of Multiple Katrinas Is Building Off Washington’s Coast

Politico By ERIC SCIGLIANO 05/07/2023 07:00 AM EDT On the north shore of Washington’s wild Olympic Peninsula, a scimitar-shaped sandspit called Ediz Hook arcs for three miles into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. At its tip, between snowy mountains to the south and Vancouver Island to the north, sits what may be the nation’s most scenically sited military installation — and its most vulnerable. Read…

Monday April 18 started out with breakfast in the motel, and we brought Coyle’s Bakeshop’s frozen cream currant scone dough and baked them fresh, along with some really thick bacon.  *chef’s kiss*  I know that beat whatever that couple in the next room was making themselves.

We did a quick trip out on Ediz Hook, the spit in Port Angeles.  You could tell the Port Angeles harbor was about to fill up with kayaks.

August 8th-September 2nd, Washington

I ran across Hatch chiles at Safeway for 1.50/lb, so I roasted and peeled several pounds for use in my favorite pork green chili dish this coming winter.

Gae tweeked her back picking up Scrappy on the last day of July, and has been down and out for the whole month. Chiropractor, Doctor, Physical Therapy and Massage Therapy has her able to be up and about in a limited way... what a painful and slow recovery! The dogs don't seem to mind, though.

Gae got a chance to visit with our neighbor Carol and her cats on the 14th.

I tried to harvest some potatoes from our patch, but was stung and had to run away. These ground bees, or wasps, got Gae and Raina as well, so I took the Rainbow vacuum cleaner to them several times. Little bastards!

I took a bike ride on the 10th with my friend Jim, down to Ediz Hook and then up through some cliff-side neighborhoods to check out an Eagles nest Jim had spotted.

My high school buddies Dennis and Steve came out to visit on the 21st, and we hiked to the coast from Lake Ozette for an overnight trip on the 22nd.

We got a little wet on the way out, but the clouds cleared and we enjoyed most of the day at our Wedding Rock campsite. A local toad hopped by us on the rocky shore.

It felt good to take off the boots after the 4.5 mile hike out.

The sun broke out and provided a beautiful sunset.

It stayed cool enough to call for a campfire... a must for any camping trip!

We checked out the petroglyphs on the way out... Orcas!

It stayed dry to Sandpoint, but we got pretty soaked on the hike back to Ozette.

Gae and I took the dogs to our favorite section of the Discovery Trail on the 27th, so they could run themselves to exhaustion. I found this cool clump of Birds Nest Mushrooms along the trail.

I also picked a fair bit of Chanterelles and one Lobster mushroom for the larder.

Jim and I hiked to Mink Lake, west of Solduc Hot springs, where we picked some wild blueberries and a few more mushrooms for me:-)

I ran across a fresh King Bolete, my all-time favorite wild edible.

I joined Roy, Nancy and Joel with Streamkeepers on the the 29th, to measure water flow and stream characteristics on Lee's and Morse Creeks.

We enjoyed our friends Daniel and Melissa over Labor Day, and the dogs enjoyed Poco and Nina as well.
