I will be Yurt Camping at Dosewallips State Park on the Hood Canal near the village of Brinnon, Washington. I will arrive Monday, May 6th and leave for home on May 9th, 2024. I will be exploring the area from Shelton to Port Townsend, mostly on 101 along the west side of the Hood Canal.
I will be yurt camping at Grayland Beach State Park, near Westport, Washington, from June 3rd to June 6. Karen and I will also be staying at resorts in Shelton, Port Townsend, and Forks in 2024. We stayed in Port Angeles, Bemerton, Lake Quinault, and Ocean Shores in 2023. Karen and I drove south from Port Townsend to Olympia down 101 via the Hood Canal in 2019 and in 2010. We have been exploring along Highway 101 (The Olympic Highwaay) from Ilwaco to Olympia, Washington. Basically, we have been exploring the Olympic Peninsula, Olympic National Park, and the Olympic National Forest.
I will focus on local travel in four days along the Hood Canal from Shelton to Port Townsend.
