This day was timed to take the beach route at low tide vs. taking the inland forest path.
 

   
Love these log crossings
 

And this was typical even after a stretch of dry days
 

Go straight up the middle
 
   
Watch your feet

Quick video vignettes: two panoramas, approach to a surge channel. I fell on slippery algae by the sea cave…small head bump, nothing serious.
 

Tree stand at the Strait of de Juan Fuca…that’s the United States on the horizon.
