We have enjoyed a relaxing week at Tidelands Campground at Copalis Beach, WA. Not sure about Pat, but I think beach living would still be my choice for our post-traveling home. We have had highs around 64° here though, which is a little too cold for me.
Pat and I took a drive one afternoon and saw the world's largest Sitka Spruce. It is around 1,000 years old, 191 feet tall, with a circumference of 58'11.
Quinault Valley is home to six champion trees. No wonder since the Quinault Rainforest receives on average 12 feet of rainfall a year. Like most places out here, this rainforest is suffering from less rainfall this year.
Our month adventure is nearly complete with Zia, Cyrus, and Samira. With 1 bath just Pat and I often wish we had an additional half bath. With 5 of us? With little privacy, tank conservation when we were at places with no sewer hook-ups, 110° at places where we only had actually less than 30 amps and could only use 1 air conditioner, packing up and setting back up every few days, having to leave early for longer drives, limited space, and the list goes on we all survived...I think! I certainly admire and maybe question the sanity of families that do this full-time.

| We could walk to the beach. Thus section didn't allow cars so less people. |

| Few RV parks allow tents. Zia's own bedroom. |
