So happy to share my home with you. You definitely need to come back when you can hike into the interior of the Olympics. 99 percent of visitors never experience the rugged alpine beauty of the peninsula. They see the coast, the moss, and a distant view from Hurricane Ridge. You have to work to get to the real Olympic Mountains.

They only grow in areas with heavy rainfall. Furthest south you will find them is in the CA redwoods. If you pick them you kill them in perpetuity.

Loved the tidepools at low tide most of all at Ruby Beach (the thing that struck me on your video was the lack of crowds there). Hall of Moses and Hurricane Ridge were the highlights of our trip. Please put out a video of the North Cascades *before* we head up there next week so we know where to visit. lol.

Nice Video. Don't worry about not seeing the Olympics. You can't see much more in the summer either until you hike 20 miles up the trail. When I was in the Hoh in the Fall, I never saw an Elk, but I could hear therm "Bugeling" and they weren't far off. I 'm glad you Covered Ruby beach. It's one of the best Beaches anywhere. I have a shot of that arch seastack at sunset with the sun setting thru the arch. One of my Favorites. I later parked on the Makah Res. to hike out to Shishi Beach to Point of Arches. That;'s the best Beach I've ever been to. But Alas, when I got back to my car they had broken in and stolen everything I didn't have with me. The only time I've ever been jacked up while travleing. The tribal Police wouldn't help at all, and I soon found out that it's a common scam. The Washington folk know you have to pay someone to park at their place and watch your car or it'll get ripped off, (and the Police won't help).

The Cascades have to be our favorite place. Oh don't forget to drive down the 101 hwy and stop at Beach #1, #2, and #3 another wounderful Place to spend a day a the beach.
