Well, today was navigationally challenging because of ambiguities in the online bus schedules. But it all worked out in the end. Another nit was a dearth of toilets en route. At Aberdeen we had lots of time between buses, but the restrooms were locked. Fortunately the second transfer point had a (somewhat disgusting) porta potty.
It took four hours from Olympia to Kalaloch. The route up north was pretty, but all the logging evidence (trucks, clearcuts) was disheartening. It sure was nice to see the Pacific again, though.
Kalaloch Lodge, where we're spending the night, is very nice. Access down to the beach is closed off, however, because of severe erosion in winter storms. And we didn't feel like walking to other beaches because it's cold and drizzly.
Yesterday we had nice music in our room because Les brought along a small speaker to stream our favorite stations. Today there's no Wi-Fi in our room and cell service is marginal, but Les had enough foresight to download some music to our phone before we left home.
A sight you don't see too often!
