Well, after talking with my Uncle in Hansville, WA (moms side of the fam), looks like i'm going to be heading that way next July. With that, I'm looking at spending some time after on the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic National Park. Looking at 9 days for that area, with the hopes of being able to see a good friend in Portland on the way home.

Curious if any one else has spent some time there? Must see places when there? Good trails to explore?

I'm open to having people join as well:) ( ahem Matt).

Included pics from my last visit to Hansville.

Beautiful area up there, spent a month there in the National Park with the youth conservation corps doing trail building back in 79. We hiked in for 8 hours unloaded and did it again to bring more supplies up. The councelors we had were real slave drivers. The best thing I remember was seeing Mt Ranier above the clouds. I also got a picture of Mt St. Helens from the airplane before it blew that next spring. Very rainy but awsome country. You will love it, so green.
