Friday, June 26. We drove three hours to Quinault thinking rain forest. It may not have been wet, but the undergrowth was thick and some of the trees were incredibly tall. We decided to take a short hike to a couple of waterfalls. Our "short" hike was 3 miles long, with a 400 ft climbe through dense forest. Did I mention it was really hot. The waterfalls were a trickle, but the forest was beautiful. It was great exercise and it was fun.
Don't tell Mischelle, but we rewarded ourselves after the "strenuous" hike by splitting a pint of Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream.
