After an excellent night's sleep in the great outdoors, we felt refreshed and ambitious. We deiced to break camp a day early and spend a night on one of the islands of Puget Sound. First, a stop for Keizer. Because we were spending most of out time in the National Park and they, for some ludicrous reason, don't allow dogs on trails, Keizer ended up spending a lot of time in the jeep, so we made sure to track down spots outside park boundaries for Keizer to enjoy. Hey, its his vacation too! And I couldn't complain about the view…


We traveled to the northern section of the park and drove up the winding road to Hurricane Ridge, which garners its name from the + 75 mph wind gusts that buffet the ridge. This area afforded a panoramic view of the majestic Olympic Mountain Range, with the 7980ft Mt Olympus looming in the background.
