What started out as a fairly simple trip to Cape Flattery on the Olympic Peninsula of WA turned into an 800 mile adventure.
Cape Flattery is the northwesternmost point in the continental U.S. To get there from Ellensburg, you must drive to Seattle, over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, past Bremerton, and on to Port Angeles. Next, you encounter a winding narrow road with 15 mile per hour turns for about 70 miles to the town of Neah Bay - if you want to call that a town. Next, you drive past Neah Bay, stop, and walk an easy 0.75 mile trail to find yourself at the point of the US.
After that adventure, we drove down through Forks, WA, which is really nowhere except for being the setting for a set of books loved by teenagers called Twilight. Then we traveled down to Aberdeen, back through Olympia, and home again. Here are some pictures of the point.
