Sequim to Westport, WA

---

Our drive today took us through parts of the Olympic National Forest, a rain forest with massive trees and lush vegetation. Highway 101 follows the south side of picturesque Lake Crescent, mountain streams and the Pacific Coast. What a joy is was for me to see the open ocean with waves crashing onto the beach. We had several sightings of Destruction Island Lighthouse on Destruction Island, about 3 miles off the coast. Stopped for lunch at a place called Beach 4. Plenty of space for parking and a couple of trails down to the beach. It was here that I could capture my picture of Destruction Island.

After a nice lunch break we drove on down to Westport and got settled in our spot at a very nice RV part with pine trees, lots of space and quiet. Had a quick supper and made it down to the lighthouse and beach just as the sun was setting.

It was from this point we were able to use the tripod and zoom in to get a picture of Destruction Lighthouse on Destruction Island.

Roots of tree look like great claws over the trunk of a fallen tree.

Rock layers have been turned sideways by the movement of the ocean.

Holes in these rocks (foreground) are made by clams with a rocking motion in the sandstone.
