Hood Canal: Adventure I, Day 3
Day 3
I will be posting my comments and notes, as well as my own photographs to this blog after May 9th. Internet reception varies in these mountainous locations.
Settled into my yurt at Dosewallips.
Walked around the State Park with my Day Pack. I place my Sling Bag inside my Day Pack. Used my old long staff as well as my cane. Cool.
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 drive USA Interstate 5 from Vancouver, WA to the junction with US Highway 101 at O;ympia.
