Woke up the morning of July 6, 2025 in a cozy pulloff amid the Olympic National Forest 🙏, after batting 0 on intended parking & nearby viables (so went driving south w/ great hope, found it), & after teeth-brushing & then door-washing (lol) I rolled off, back toward Kalaloch Beach or something the like. (note: spitting toothpaste out a window is a risky move, & if practiced, should use a long arc rather than steep fall-off ☝️)
Road view. Saw 1 car passing. 🙏
My little nestlespot for a few hours for a necessary rest, in truck, “sleep” 🙏
Pulloff for texting, noticeable bug carnage, actually a good idea to clean ASAP as it’s dangerous. 😎 6:11 am
Made it to a Kalaloch beach, grabbing zoomy cam & heading down, great way to start the morning.
Some lighthouse, using iPhone here.
Great zoom on these new iPhone 16 Pro Maxes. 😂
Heading down to the actual wata.

Arrived at this coffee-stand in Forks 🙏 & got some Mexican Mocha & a sausage egg muffin. To-go, of course.

Inside, I would describe the trees here as tall, lush, foresty.

Hues of green in foliage.
*snickers* sorry, Great growth action here.
So quiet in there, just the sounds of people scattered about & occasional bird whoops.
Nature amidst the paradise.
Sunscreen applied, hat acap.
Heading back, arrived at the Kingston Ferry Terminal after hours of driving. 🙌 Beautiful & excellent trip here.
Mt. Index on the way home along Steven’s Pass.
Absolutely essential carwash after the insect-barraging journey, pleased & satisfied & thankful to have had the experience. 🙏
