OK. So Neah Bay wasn't exactly on our way to Lake Ozette but we just had to see Cape Flattery.
The drive to Neah Bay was great, but foggy. Lots of little beach access spots to stop at. We visited a few and I found some rocks. The fog was finally starting to lift a little. We ate lunch at a county park with a wonderful view.
At Neah Bay we bought our $7.00 recreation permit. Then we drove out to Cape Flattery. The last 5 miles of the the road is unpaved and bumpy. The hike (1 mile roundtrip) to the coast was beautiful. Too bad the fog hadn't lifted all the way... we couldn't see much. The sound of the ocean crashing on the rocks was amazing though.
The hike back up to the parking lot was a work out.
About 1/2 way back on the dirt road our old 13" TV came crashing down from it's shelf above the bunk. Oops. It hit the back of Dave's seat, then the couch, then the floor, then rolled into the stairwell. Guess we'll have to check that tie-down system more often on bumpy roads. Sadly, the TV still worked fine when we tested it. I was hoping we'd be forced into replacing it with something bigger and nicer.
We thought about staying near Seiku but then decided to go on to Lake Ozette. We found a great site right next to the lake and it was only $10.00 a night. I like National Park campgrounds. Dave fished for awhile. Then we had a 2 coffee log fire (Java-Logs, see link below). We love the Java Logs. Then Dave beat me 2x at Cribbage. So I pulled out Trouble and beat him.
We would definitely stay here again. No hookups of course, but we don't need them. There's no cell service here either.
