#28 Cape Flattery

We left Olympic National Park and kept heading around the peninsula. Cape Flattery is the farthest North West you can get in the contiguous states. To get to it, you have to buy a permit at Neah Bay, this little Native American town. We stopped at a tiny grocery store in Neah Bay. The day we were there they were having a BBQ sale. They had ribs that looked delicious and hot dogs. We were trying hard to save our money while we were on our trip and only spend a certain amount per day. I think we debated for half an hour about getting a hot dog.

The night before we went to Cape Flattery we spent the night at a pull off on the road next to the beach. I loved all of the cool foggy weather!

I'm not sure if anyone will appreciate this, but Jordan and I did such good bird watching when we went to Cape Flattery! I really wanted to see a puffin while we were there and we did! We also saw some other really cool sea birds I had never seen before: oyster catchers, all sorts of cormorants, common murres, and pigeon guillemots. 

The hike to Cape Flattery is really beautiful. You wind though trees and some dense forest and walk along little wooden boardwalks.

Jordan took this picture for his friend, Jake. It was the perfect little natural bonsai tree.
