First thing this morning I had to walk to the river and check on my rock sculptures. They were still there. It's another beautiful day.
Dave and I headed over to the Visitor's Center and took 2 short loop walks called The Hall of Mosses and The Spruce. About 2 miles total. Right near the Visitor Center there was a Bull Elk.
We watched it for awhile before starting our walk. 
The mosses and trees are amazing. Like another world. 
At the end of our walk the Elk was still there - but now it was right by the trail. That thing was huge and I was a little intimidated. It was nice to get back to the RV.
On our way out of the Rain Forest we stopped for hamburgers at the Rain Forest Cafe. Pretty tasty.
The next stop was Ruby Beach. The parking lot is on a hill and it's a short hike down to the beach. 
This was another amazing beach. 
The tide was pretty high so there were no tidal pools to explore. There were lots of rock sculptures. 
I devoted my time to finding rocks. Then we walked down to the end of the beach. I love the ocean.
Next stop was Klaloch. We had hoped to camp in the NPS campground right on the ocean. Sadly, it was full. Next time we'll make reservations. We drove on to Lake Quinalt. Found a spot at the Rain Forest Resort Village. 
It's pretty quiet here. Electricity but no cable (so no Lost!). We got gussied up (camping style) and went to dinner at the resort restaurant. Dave had salmon, I had fettucine alfredo, and we both had grasshoppers. It was a great evening.
