Our last stop on the Olympic Penninsula was Port Townsend, WA. We stayed at Ft. Worden, which used to be an Army coastal artillery base. There were many huge bunkers with dark narrow corridors that were awesome for playing in. We spent hours in there, trying to scare each other. Also, the campground had views of Mount Baker, Mount Rainier and the Olympic and Cascade mountains, as well as views of Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The mountains were beautiful, all snow capped.
Since the campground was right at the beach, we spent some time there. Little kid and I had fun tying our legs together with kelp and hopping around, like a potato sack race. We also built “jails” out of drift wood and seaweed.
We also spent some time in Port Townsend. Everywhere we went, we saw deer. We saw them by roads, in backyards, and crossing the street.
