It was a great Thanksgiving weekend!

October 14, 2009

Upon returning home from California, I spent a couple days at home before leaving again. Lucky this time I did not have to step on an airplane. On Friday, Trish and I took the Coho ferry right out of downtown Victoria across the Juan de Fuca, strait over to Port Angeles-WA. We drove deep into the Olympic Mountains National Park, and found a beautiful little campground located on the Elwha River. After setting up camp, we drove to the end of the road, and parked the car. We hiked about a 1-hour to some amazing Hot Springs in the thick of the rain forest. There were at least 6 pools you could choose from, which we shared with a few other people. The Seasonal Pumpkin spiced ales we packed in were sure a nice treat while sitting in the springs!

The following day, we were joined by 4 other good friends, and made our way west out to the open ocean near Cape Flattery. This is one of the truly special places in the world, no doubt. There is a huge Native American presence, and the area is just so relaxing and pristine. We rented a nice little cabin on a beach with great surf right out front. Despite the cool weather, we had an amazing time surfing clean 4-6 feet un-crowded waves, hiking local coastal trails, making excellent meals, and sharing more than a few laughs.

Back home again, and about to head out for a nice little mountain bike ride on some of the best local single-track Victoria has to offer.

Ciao for now,

Max
