The view from our campsite in Scenic Beach State Park, WA last week.

Many, many tall Douglas fir trees with huckleberry bushes underneath (sadly all done)

We went camping. Even though the air was hazy with wildfire smoke, it was still beautiful out there.

Last year when we went camping, there was a burn ban due to drought and fire conditions. This year, on the rainy Olympic Peninsula, fires in campsites were allowed. I had so missed it.

Thinking about our camping trip coming up reminded me of the Bowman Bay camping experience a few years ago. We aren’t going there this time, but thought you’d like to see another view of one of the most scenic landscapes I’ve ever seen.
