Tuesday, 08 May 2018 – Travel Day to Copalis Beach WA

Maverick exploring the Copalis River just behind our RV site. The ocean is just beyond the dunes on the left.

We got up this morning and took our time getting ready to leave. Donna made a quick run to the local bakery to get some awesome baked good she discovered yesterday. The bakery is about a block away. We re-traced our steps to I-5 and then across towards Aberdeen where we had lunch at Subway and restocked at Wal Mart. Re-stocked, we headed to Copalis Beach and the Driftwood RV Resort. Resort is a little optimistic. The route from Aberdeen to the resort is only about 30 minutes but seems a little run-down in this area. I fear Aberdeen will be the only appealing site in the area. This stop is mainly intended as a mid-point to Port Angeles so I didn’t expect too much. Our site backs up to the Copalis River which wind itself lazily to the ocean near here. The RV park is undergoing expansion so most of the place looks like and is a construction zone. Without the construction it might be pretty with the many large trees but it isn’t now. After getting setup I had to pull up jacks and move forward about 15 feet to find satellite reception. That was an annoyance, but it was worth it. We stayed around the coach the rest of the afternoon, postponing exploration for tomorrow. While setting up it started very light rain and that continued into the night.
