Hood Canal: Adventure I, Day 1

Hood Canal:  Adventure I, Day 1

Day 1 May 6th
















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.

Karen and I drove south from Port Townsend down 101 via the Hood Canal in 2019 and in 2010.  Strickly a driving tour back then in this area.  

Today, I will drive USA Interstate 5 from Vancouver, WA to the junction with US Highway 101 at O;ympia. 
Olympia to Shelton, 101, WA
Highway 101 reaches the Hood Canal at the Skokomish River  
Shelton to Hoosport, 101, WA
Hoodsport to Brinnon, 101, WA

I will focus on local travel in four days along the Hood Canal Potlach to Quilcene along Highway 101, Olympic Peninsusla, Washington.
