Friday, 11 May 2018 – Travel day to Port Angeles

Olympic National Park’s Ruby Beach
Another pretty view of Ruby Beach
Driving by Olympic National Park’s Crescent Lake

We got a leisurely start today. Our route ran up Hwy 101 most of the way. About half way we stopped at Ruby Beach. Ruby Beach is part of Olympic National Park. The beach was really wonderful and fairly crowded. We ate a sandwich on the beach. The route also took us by Lake Crescent in Olympic National Park. Another spectacular view. We had lots of time to enjoy the view because road construction had us stopped quite a bit of the time. We got to the Elwha Dam RV Park about 3pm. The park is quite nice with decent room between sites. We get good cellular and satellite coverage which is always nice. Once set up we ran into Port Angeles to check it out. The town has a nice vibe and the views of the ocean and Vancouver Island were great. We decided to eat at LD Woodfired Grill for a Mother’s Day steak. It was pretty pricey but we really enjoyed it.
