GRAYLAND

Yes, it’s been a gray day for us. A five hour drive over 200 miles with traffic through Seattle and Tacoma. We even had a little rain on the way. All of us were really happy when we finally pulled into Grayland State Park. 

This park is so remote, it’s over 19 miles to the nearest supermarket. It’s quiet and beautiful. Our sites are great, we backed up into the trees and everything is so green. It’s still overcast and wet, but we are so close to the ocean that it’s probably fog. We’re looking forward to our four days here in the peace and quiet. 

After we got set up, Kathe and Jim took a walk through the trees to the beach. There are several hikes marked as beach trails from the campground. They took a long walk to the ocean which was at very low tide. No one in the water but the sea birds. 

I guess I spoke too soon about the quiet. Right now we are experiencing a very loud thunderstorm. Going to curl up in my bed for the night.
