Sequim - Here we come

Dungeness Lighthouse

Wednesday
Oh yes, there is  place called Sequim!

Deer in the Park

Our time is up in Doeswallips, so what better than to move on to Sequim (pronounced Squim).

Glacier Peak - I think - 100 miles away on the mainland

Both out on the Olympic Peninsula. We got a good start and arrived at Sequirm by about 11.30, as it was only about 60 miles away. we are camped at Rainbow's End RV Park, it is quite pleasant, but tight, very tight. We are fortunate and have very nice triangular grass lawn about the size of a handkerchief. Did some shopping this afternoon and this evening took a drive through the town down to the beach - which is Dungeness Spit, a sand spit about 6 miles long out into the Strait of Juan De Fuca (no I don't know who he was, yet), the channel into the Puget Sound, which is 100 miles long and 10 miles wide at it's narrowest. It was very windy and quite chilly, but we could see mountains to the East, South and North of us. It is the most northerly point on the Peninsula.

Striped Peak - I think

I still have not learned that most places in America are much bigger than the look on the map. Puget Sound, from Olympia to the Canadian Border is 134 miles of water and is part of the waterway round Vancouver Island, which is in Canada, just across the water, 21 miles from Dungeness. Vancouver Island is 270 miles long.
