Elk on the Beach

Let me just say, as beautiful as the west coast is, anywhere there is elk, it is too cold for me.

My plan was to stop in Seattle and see the sights, especially the fish market, (which I did), and explore the islands on the Puget Sound. Then mosey on up to Vancouver, Canada. But, when I have to sleep wearing two hoodies, using four blankets, plus two beach towels as cover, it is just far to cold for my liking. So, I got up in the morning, and drove for 10 hours south, 10 hours, south, looking for the sun. I left Seattle about 8:00 in the morning, and didn't see the sun until 4:30 that afternoon. Even then, the temperature was only in the 50's. I did however, follow my plan to go south on Hwy 101, better known as the Pacific Coast Highway, or the PCH.

Stunningly beautiful! (When it wasn't foggy, which it was the majority of the time, but anyway, enough bitching about the weather.)

I took this picture from the back of the truck. Lovely place to spend the evening, and the next morning at the marina watching everything I could possible see.
