Today we slept in till 6:30 AM, I know we really slept in a
lot, but still made it to breakfast.
Today
we tried the pancakes.
The pancakes were
not anything special, just normal pancakes; however, Jim noted we are very
close to Canada but can’t be supplied with real maple syrup.
After breakfast we headed up the South Shore
Road to a couple of waterfalls, so I could take some pictures of the them using
my tripod so I could get that nice fluffy water.
The first one was a short .3-mile hike to a
bridge overlooking the falls.
Sadly,
this bridge was in the wrong spot, because the larger falls was further down
the stream and you could not get a good view of it.
So, I had to settle for the smaller falls.
I took a couple of pictures of it from the bridge,
then climbed down to the water level to get a better picture of it.
After taking some pictures at streambed level
we climbed back up to the trail and headed back to the car to move onto the
next waterfall.
The next waterfall was
easy to access since it is on the side of the road.
We parked in a pull off and then went down to
the stream bed. While I took some pictures of the falls, Jim climbed some the
rocks nearby.
After I was done taking
pictures we got in the car and drove over to North Shore Road to take a hike up
to a lake.
The hike to the lake was supposed to be a moderate 1-mile
hike out and 1-mile back, but we only made it about halfway to the lake.
The middle of the trail was engulfed by mud
and then a large stream which made it very difficult to travers and determine exactly
were the trail was.
We determined it was
safer to turn back, so we didn’t make it to the lake.
Since our hike ended early, we decided to
drive down to Hoquiam for lunch.
There is virtually no place to eat near the lodge, our only
choices are eating at the lodge with a limited menu or go over to Dino’s to
eat. We are getting tired of the lodge
and the prices and Dino’s barely rates one star in our opinion. So, we made the
45-minute drive down 101 to Hoquiam to eat at a small diner. For being a simple window serve diner it was
decent. Jim had a burger and I had a BLT,
we opted not to get the fried gizzards that were on the menu. After lunch we drove back to the lodge, where
we played some lawn games. I am horrible
at horseshoes but ok at Ladder Ball. Overall,
we did not do too much today. I’m still
not good at sitting still and relaxing, I like going out and doing things. I’m not sure what we will do tomorrow.
