The Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park was pretty awesome. Most photos just didn't do it justice. Half the time it seemed that the main body of the tree couldn't even be made out because of the amount of mossy lichens hanging all over everything.
Also, all was soft and cushy, below, like the well-padded paths of many fallen leaves and trees.
Unfortunately, upon leaving we hit rain for several hours. Motoing with a passenger went pretty well. I hadn't ever done it before and Katie and I only had several near-falls when going super slow and turning or something like that! Overall, the Olympic Peninsula was awesome. It is very well guarded, though. We got pulled over TWICE by a Park Ranger in Fort Worden State Park, in Port Townsend, where we spent the first night in a cool hostel.
First, I was apparently going almost 30 MPH in a 15 MPH zone! But even better, we walked down by the beach that evening and he came out on the beach to tell us it was closed off. Then he was like, "Oh, bummer, I already pulled these two over earlier this evening!"
