Kit and Carol on the Road

Less than 9 months after we were at the most north-eastern point of the US, we are standing at Cape Flattery, the north- western most spot in the lower 48. We have lucked out—the weather is beautiful; a rare sunny day in this usually wet foggy spot. We were told this was a “must see”, but not that we would have to pay a $10 “yearly recreational fee” to the Makah Indians. We also stopped at the museum in Neah Bay where the artifacts from the archaeological dig are on display. I’ve been wanting to go there for MANY years.
We left the island on the first Memorial Day ferry (7am). We thought we would have to wait at Keystone for the ferry to Port Townsend and the Olympic Peninsula. We knew that several of the midday ferries were cancelled because of low tides. But we got right onto the 8:40 ferry and were at least a half day “ahead of schedule”. Found a great campsite at Salt Creek Campground (county) and spent the evening with our friends Gary and Jane who live near. Then we lucked out with another fine campsite with an amazing view in Seiku on the route out to Cape Flattery.
