Again we woke in the rain forest to sunny skies. Probably I should stop saying that! And the scheduled day to Kalaloch Lodge is short. We look at alternative routes and extensions and most of us decide the 36 mile round trip to the Hoh Rain Forest is the best bet. Unfortunately, there is construction on that route with delays of up to an hour (each way) so most of us turn around. Armed with sandwiches, bananas and cookies, Brenda and I – and most other riders – decide that Ruby Beach is a good place for lunch. Little did we know how beautiful a place it was – see photos in today’s blog (click on any photo for an enlargement). The breeze from the Pacific Ocean was very cool but the sun kept us mostly warm. After about an hour, clouds moved in, and it got much colder. So we got on the bikes, with jackets, and rode the seven or so miles to the lodge. We were two hours earlier than normal check-in but all rooms were ready! Two nights ago at the Sol Duc Lodge we had a really great dinner. Hopefully tonight’s will measure up.
