Day 21 - 9/25 - From Port Angeles to Portland

This entry will be brief. The main reason is that this was a travel day. A secondary reason is that the photos are beginning to look very much the same; clouds, evergreen trees, water, and roadway. Well, the roadway may look different because much of it was very curvy today.

The first part of our drive on US 101 East was about 130 miles. The many turns and hills meant seldom reaching a speed of 50 MPH. In addition, we went through four portions where some type of construction brought the highway to one lane roadway. Of course, it was raining but that didn’t keep anyone from working. The proper attire for working outside is a rain suit.

In checking prices for fuel (they greatly vary out here), we did stop for fuel near Olympia. By the time we arrived at Roamers Rest, it was time for supper (some people call it dinner) and time to rest up for the next day.

Our travel route was from west of Port Angeles (near Elwha),

around the east side of the park on US 101, and down

to Olympia, Washington where we merged on to

I-5 to continue on to Portland, Oregon.

This was our destination campground, Roamers Rest RV Park.

It is in one of the suburban areas south of downtown

Portland in a community called Tualatin. The campground

was a former public park space.
