This last weekend involved heading out to the Olympic Pennisula to visit Ashley’s 20 acres. The whole process of getting there on Friday took about 5 hours. Arn and I left at about 2.45 and didn’t roll in until 7.30. The actual distance by air is only about 30 miles but water and hills get in the way. The main stumbling block was missing a ferry by two cars. The approximate location of the festivities can be found here.
The weekend was to be packed with excitement and joys. The main activities consisted of drinking, shooting guns, roasting a pig, and a Texas hold’em tournament.
The main highway follows the Hood Canal and then you take off up a side road to get to Ashley’s land. The road had been regraded lately, so the trip up was more enjoyable. The property is at an elevation of about 1,200 feet. You take the last turn up the road and crest the hill to these sweeping views of the east. Notable sites include downtown seattle, Hood Canal, and Mt. Rainer. Later photos will give us a view of Mt. Rainer. Friday night also saw a little skeet shooting to get the memories of the exhausting ferry ride out of my system. I did pretty good with the 12 gauge on Friday night, hitting a good number of those pesky clay pigeons.
