Camping in Olympic National Park

We've been to Olympic National Park three times (including this time), averagely once a year. However, there are still a lot of stuff left unseen and many points of interests left unvisited. We probably will go again sometime in the future.

Hurrican Ridge, never been there in July and we all agreed that July and Aug are the best months to visit this area. (and of course Mt. Rainier too)


We met deers no matter which national park we go. No exception this time. There was a deer (not this one shown in the picture) actually led us to the trail which we already planned to walk, it feels like she's one of us, maybe she would like to go to our camping site and stay on the grill too, hahaha. (just kidding)


Lake Cresent. Looks different everytime we visited her. This time we rented a boat and paddled to the middle of the lake, enjoying sun burn. Oh! And had quite a lot of fun of arm aching after returning to the shore.


On our way back home, while waiting for the ferry I took this photo. The sky was pretty clear and we were able to see the whole shape of Mt. Rainier. It's so cool no wonder Washinton State would like to put it as the symbol of this state. There's another interesting observation: the tiny city with buildings is Seattle, and you might find how small we are compare to the mountain. which means if there's volcano eruption, we will have to say goodbye to Seattle.

Feel like flying today?



When the sky is as blue as the sea, I feel like flying. I mean, flying as a bird. If you human beings want me to fly as sitting inside the tiny cabin of a trainer plane (as indicated in the photo below), I am sorry, ain't gonna do that...



Man... I love this new "insert pictures" function. (it is new... is it?) Oh, this reminds me something else. I love Google Map too, but just found out a weakness of it: I cannot save my recent searches as Mapquest did for me. That is my favorite function in Mapquest. However Google Map has this beautilful graphics and lovely shadow, oh, and satellite images.

So, Mapquest:GoogleMap 1:2, GoogleMap wins.
