Last night’s BBQ, served on the lodge lawn, was great.
The Lake Quinault Lodge is one of the Great Lodges of the National Park Service. It was built in 1926 by 45 men in 53 days. Pretty amazing.
Editorial comment: If everyone listened to the Tea Party, all endeavors would be by private enterprise and there would be no national park system. How simplistic and ill-conceived their notions are. I hope we return them to the farm in the next elections.
This morning the lake was still and surrounded by fog. The temperature, in the mid-50’s, was ten degrees higher than the previous two days. We rode out of the park about nine o’clock. Turning on highway 101 at mile 2.5 and saw blue skies above the forest walls.
Photo: Lake Quinault, early morning. Most riders took the long 65 mile route today because this got us off the busy 101, much of which is paved with chip-seal, and because the coastal road was much more scenic. An Espresso stop at mile 30 was followed by lunch at the Green Lantern Tavern in Copalis Beach (mile 40). It was a nice ride on a beautiful day.

I enjoyed your little poke at the tea party. Thanks for blogging and sharing your pictures of your trip.
I am following you blog to see where you stay and eat. I grew up in western WA and lived in Tacoma for 10 years as an adult. Sadly, I have never been to many of these places. I'm going to plan a trip there next year. Thanks for blogging your tour, John.
