We left the Rain Forest Resort Village around 8:00am after a quick breakfast of snacks. Our original plan was to get up early, ride the one mile up to the Lake Quinault Lodge and get a breakfast of potatoes and fruit, but since we seemed to have over-packed snacks...

John woke me up this morning to eat breakfast. I was annoyed because I had finally been sleeping well in a bed after camping the past two nights. We walked downstairs to the restaurant. Unfortunately, Lake Quinault Lodge is not vegan-friendly, so we only ate fruit and...

We started the day with a walk over to Kalaloch Lodge for a hearty breakfast of vegan pancakes with a side of hash browns. Even though one of my two pancakes seemed a bit undercooked, it was definitely the breakfast we needed to get through our third day in a row of...

We had originally planned to cycle up Hurricane Ridge, but we were too sore from yesterday’s ordeal, so we decided to just leisurely explore Port Angeles. Upon leaving the Airbnb, we were amazed to see three deer crossing the street. We walked...

They say that adventures begin when things don’t go as planned, and needless to say, this is how our adventure started. Well, that saying would be much more accurate if I had a plan… Upon arriving in Port Townsend, the question of where to park the car for two...

With Kitty’s passing, we highly debated whether or not taking this trip would be a good idea. My main reluctance was that we would be riding, half-heartedly enjoying ourselves while still thinking about Kitty’s sudden departure and the hole that it left in our hearts....
