Scott and I were able to do a little exploring when he was home for a few days last month. We decided to drive across the bridge and go into the actual Olympic National Forest. If you ever get the chance it is a very pretty drive. We would have loved to stop at one of the tiny motels along the way and spend the night. If you are driving through and happen to see this sign I highly recommend you stop and take like little hike out to the falls!
I am back at the exploring again … someone told me about the Point No Point Lighthouse and Beach. Last Sunday since my Bears were losing I decided to take a little drive and ended up visiting this little beach. There was a ton of drift wood that had washed up on the beach. Once we buy our house I really want to go back a get a few pieces for our yard!
Point No Point Light is an operational aid to navigation on the northeastern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula on the west side of Puget Sound, at Point No Point where Admiralty Inlet joins Puget Sound, near the small community of Hansville, Kitsap County, in the U.S. state of Washington. Point No Point Light is considered the oldest lighthouse on Puget Sound and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Source
After moving to Washington my husband was deployed and I was left to explore by myself. I started searching the area around our house for green spots that could lead to a hiking trail or a park. I found a very awesome gem with a GREAT view of the Olympic National park. It was a short 1 mile hike all the way down to the beach and a slightly up hill 1 mile hike back up to the parking lot.
I have not done much hiking in my life … I guess that’s what happens when you live on a 2×4 island for almost 4 years. I am excited to explore my new home and get to see how the other half lives. It might not be all palm trees and sunshine up here but at least there is a good view. I also think I am going to be getting better at my photography skills.
