Watching the sea by ferry from Seattle Downtown's landscape - the way from Seattle to Port Angeles

30 days to USA / Canada on day 21 of the West on a camping trip, Olympic National Park in Port Angeles down left the house in Quicksilver's, Seattle is entered. Now, southward along the west coast of the U.S. that this trip last 1/3 was launched.

Getting to Port Angeles to Seattle is like a map There are three of the above. Both in time and in distance of the nearest way north of Seattle in Edmonds went down way to the ferry, and the path to the bottom, as shown in the Tacoma (Tacoma) only way to go is to go down a road. However, we like the best way to travelers in the path displayed in the middle of Bainbridge ferry ride to the island go directly into the way of downtown Seattle. already guessed why ... ^ ^

Route 101 out of the Puget Sound (Puget Sound) meet only interesting one leg out. So just floating on rafts in the ocean Hood Canal Floating Bridge, which unlike most rocking forward slightly disappointed not because (?) Was ~

Bainbridge Island do to get to the finish dock boat ride we were ready to start. This trip is already the third car only to put on the boat, as this idea by the time all this 'once or twice where I put the car ferry, this you know ...'

Accustomed to carrying out of the car and saw the ferry, was built along the beach in their eyes come in a nice house.

Want a low hill Wilderness, trees planted in the island over the edge of skyscrapers in Seattle was that it looks right.

WA: Why am I the sea north than the deep blue waters of Southern California that felt like?

Seattle's why clouds floating in the sky always seems to be like that. Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain ... ^ ^

During the 30 minutes of sailing was in a warm room most people, we tourists throwing tea, took pictures so hard. Hair blowing in the gusty sea breeze on the wisdom of this harness is properly open eyes and be right.

The location of the well was somewhat surprising Seattle (Space Needle) - the look of the Universe of the needle "because ... well once built a name.

Skyscrapers in downtown Seattle than I thought there were many. Palm Trees in San Diego ... but there is no similar sense-

Downtown ballpark right after the small container port and attached to the side-by-side football field. Seattle Mariners Ichiro ... Dodger Stadium ... WBC finals ... suddenly we saw in this 'stream of consciousness', which is met by the reaching hands of the mind, and soon I arrived hungry cars waiting to go back out asking broadcasts. The other major cities in the United States for the first time in Seattle to come by, no car wheel stands at the moment.

Car-ferry ride or two this will not boast of this, drove the boat as soon as they come out and embarrassed in front of high-rise buildings are blocking. Navigation 'Garmin amount (Ms. Garmin)' is the satellite... what can I not find, just go straight to downtown Seattle forced in-

Covered in rain clouds of snow-capped mountain range, Washington State Olympic National Park, Hurricane Ridge

U.S. / Canada West on the 30th day of a camping trip in the morning to hit the 21, Washington, where the Olympic (Olympic) National Park, just great Port Angeles, who paid a little visit Naver blogger Quicksilver's power house. Last night, Victoria, Canada ferry arrived late in our family have you marinate, today is a direct drive to the guide to Olympic National Park.

Olympic National Park, Seattle, Washington, United States Northwest (Seattle), which is located in the west of the peninsula, covered with perpetual snow is more than 2,000 meters above sea level, the mountain region and the United States, the most wise annual rainfall rain forest, or contact with the Pacific coast lakes and springs, plus up area, containing a wide variety of large national park with nature. (Google Click here for location map), however, is where the highest Park Name Olympus (Olympus) merely named after the mountain, there is no correlation at all with the Olympics ... ^ ^

Get down to a little house in the mountains of Olympic National Park Visitor Center is yeah, little national park that envoys Brings in-

Here in Port Angeles is also the Moose Visitor Center has so ...

This was the old trees. "Do you know how old he is, or what exactly it counts ..."

Exhibition was also made separately for children, low-fat teddy bear (?) Well it was seemingly a bit.

Came down to the right, go up the road again divided Sore, came out great Olympic National Park entrance, our destination of Hurricane Ridge (Hurricane Ridge), where in addition to other Visitor Center is approximately 1,500 m and climb.

Go up a little bit north, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca built observatory gave the car a while. Weather permitting looked across the ocean to Canada to Victoria, cloudy because overlooking the city of Port Angeles had to be satisfied. (I had previously read the travel guide is written - Olympic National Park to visit the 'sunny weather when it comes to luck' as ...)

Going through tortuous mountain road tunnel, about 1,600 m above sea level, about 40 minutes from the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center had arrived.

South of the Canadian Chamber of semin 0 won peninsula overlooking photos of models, which look at the center of the picture 'YOU ARE HERE' in it now, we are shown the location of Hurricane Ridge. And, over the southwest of the valley covered in ice caps ...

Olympus 2,432 m above sea level, the mountain looks. (Outside the rain cloud security so well because it concerns the model of excellent work ^ ^)

Looking to the west coast of Mount Olympus 'FORKS' seems a nomination, here is the last one in Korea show Dracula movie 'Twilight' and 'New Moon> in the background of the original novel, the four seasons of weather' Fox (Forks) 'is. (Fiction series has evolved this quiet rural town wondering how you, click here ...)

Visitor Center at the back of a large observatory yeah, who's 'Hurricane' Ridge'm not a huge blow to the wind-

Purple wildflower meadow is covered over the snow-capped peaks remain visible at the bottom, but only slightly so, High peaks, including Mount Olympus Unfortunately, all of the leaders in the dark rain clouds did not obscure.

However, even in high winds felt that this purple wildflowers, bluebonnets unforgettable Dawn (lupine) ... the scent of flowers, if each color has its own fragrance, purple lupine flowers have a pin on Hurricane Ridge fragrance suits, I thought.

The visitor center is away from the wind came again. Quicksilver by the end of that wisdom diligently explain something to Him. On this day, this is crowded with tourists, not the National Park Visitor Center, deep in the mountains of the Lodge felt desolate.

The Lodge at last that caught my eye is this cross-eyed ... with a chair leg of interesting shapes rather too playful patterns of Indians crazy, as children's work too ... just saying something profound and I was wondering ...

Through the thick clouds on the way back down to Port Angeles and met a deer. This wasteland where deer are you haunting your yard, deer in the mountains you saw nothing to wear.

The place to buy lunch in the liver is the most delicious burger in Port Angeles, but, drive-through, but was a very small shop. However, now the most well off in the American Southwest in-n-out hamburger chain (In-n-Out), so that the departure is so, be famous hamburger chain stores do not even know is later. Shop named 'Frugals' Let's keep in mind because ... well ... ^ ^ back to eating delicious burgers to go home, feed me lay guide to give thanks to God I give Quicksilver the next destination of our family in Seattle is headed. Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic Games, although one (Olympic) National Park is a very small part, it's like a rain cloud covered only see less of our trip on the 30th day of the most appreciated and valuable memory left.

[Canada] Vancouver Island car ferry ride from Victoria to Port Angeles, WA entry into the United States

30 days in the U.S. / Canada on a camping trip in the West, 8 nights 9 days stay in Canada (3 night sisters relaxing at home) is complete, return to the United States now and again. Here in Victoria (Victoria) on Vancouver Island when it comes to a car ferry, like the whole car ride back to the ship will be carrying.

The Rees Hotel and amplifiers, such as the capitol, Victoria's attractions are gathered directly from the port to catch a ship so can the United States really come in handy. To ride a car ferry cars are lined up so if the United States Immigration Service to check passports and visas to go around but, on the spot checks are U.S. citizens, foreigners Then one of the party holding the passport check went directly to the office I had to have.

Vancouver, Canada (Vancouver) method is just coming to the United States by land to ride 5 Freeway way down to Seattle and Vancouver to Nanaimo we like (Nanaimo) to go by boat, on Vancouver Island (Vancouver Island) to visit Aboard the Victoria and Port Angeles, United States (Port Angeles) incoming method. (In this case, then go directly to Seattle to catch a second time or times as), of course, looking at car ferry ride on car, British Columbia (British Columbia), the capital of British style also visit the beautiful city of Victoria, and also the United States Olympic (Olympic) If you visit the National Park, it is good to use the boat, but the problem is that too Stepping is scoliosis?

Victoria and Port Angeles, between the car ferry is the black ball (Black Ball) that the company is currently exclusive to operate and there, the driver one person, including the car to put a price of $ 53, to the car others separately or per $ 14.5 have to pay. (Children $ 7.25), and also includes a weekend or a holiday at any time it is necessary to catch a booking, internet booking cost an additional $ 11 million demand. The book is also my family an auditor for a total of about $ 80 which seems to approval. Ghana where there is no competition over monopoly is a bad thing ...

Always looking ahead towards the next destinations while driving, so look back on times when I stood on a distant destinations, for nothing seemed sentimental ... becoming covered with vines amp lease (Empress) Hotels and turquoise dome of the Capitol building, I hear a familiar song "Come back - according to Victoria ~"

Picnic out on the lawn next to the sea in Canada waving to me ... (of course, waving a hand at my side wit me hard rocking ^ ^)

Nostalgic regret is we leave it to that next to the drop-off ... (too emotional over ... At this point, the spirit of the game~ ^ ^)

Floating on the water along the harbor was, how weird was that Waterhouse. A lot of waves hitting the seasickness, motion sickness is not a house around here?

Inner Harbor to get out now. Something to look at the end of the building that was built in the United States and the other in Europe seems to be floating in the atmosphere.

English style and look the other side (?) ... And the building of well damage the reef - go somewhere. Pointin a lot of what the device is shaped.

Finally, the inner harbor is moored at the entrance was a Canadian coast guard, the only ship indeed seeing the Canadian sense 'is felt. Think of leaving Canada, the United States and other countries Canada was really. In a public place, be sure to sign French and mile (mile) instead of kilometers (km) and writes clearly beyond just superficial, but ... not exactly something a lot different, I do not remember ^ ^

So go and Canadian landscapes, boats coming up ... Huh ... that came out of the snow capped mountains that? I see already on American soil! In fact, Victoria and Port Angeles 35km distance in a straight line, and the borders of the United States and Canada of the Juan de Fuca Strait, the narrowest width is 20km away is also impossible, evidently, the two cities to just use the cell phone number of his own country, he said. Anyway, we go back to the United States -

Buy a cup of coffee and drink in the Wilderness came out, doubling the wind speed on the playful grunge inadvertently blew harder. The cold waters of the North Pacific to fall to the summer sun time now is July 5, 2009, 20:43 ... (summer time hours per applicable)

Port Angeles is just around the ferry is not, quite a large cargo ship in the harbor right away I look,

Still remains in the left eye Olympic (Olympic) National Park peaks over 2,000 meters above sea level, which also houses a quiet background seems.

Looking closer to Port Angeles, which arrived in the port because soon go back to their waiting car came asking broadcasting. I think not less than 30 minutes, this is a big ship so quickly run back to go to sunset the clouds have already seen that the earth is not in Canada.

The door opens and the car ferry, with large camper bike is first to press down on American soil. That statement is still a long way to go far far far gone out of California, the inconvenience for approx 10 days left, but for some reason this moment feels like the end of a camping trip, it felt coming home Why?

I need a car to drive to the customs check. Airplanes arriving at the airport baggage checks, as is an apostate form of checks arrived in the harbor. There was no separate procedures for creating a report, customs officers in white beckoning you to come to this ... we turn our passports was "California ... blah ... blah ...", which cant hardly speak English. I speak English not sound so bad - because there has staying, next to my wife, "Where in California - Korean asked to!" Well-Korean 14h cant have! Camping and open the trunk signs around, but "a lot of kimchi smell did say" is sent me by without another point. Later in the story is that the customs officers in Port Angeles white wife Korea who can speak Korean, and I know, all of a sudden unexpected places really embarrassed when he heard speak Korean. One answer to this English-Korean ~ ^ ^ This one should be a late return to the U.S. again, we are here on earth you live in Port Angeles, go to Quicksilver's house came to be taken care of me one night.
