Tim re-filling the water tank with the 5-gallon jug. Tim is looking to do some future plumbing modifications which will eliminate the use of the ladder!
Washington Lavender Farm
The areas of Lavendar at Washington Farm is so beautiful to stroll through.
Dungeness Harbor Spit is just a mile walk from our rv site!
Walking Path to the spit from our RV site.
Sequim is located along the Dungeness River near the base of the Olympic Mountains.
We met our Mazatland friends, Mike and Celia, at the John Wayne Marina. While dining at the Dockside Grill we discovered the land was donated by the famous actor's family in recognition of John Wayne's vision of a marina in the scenic Sequim Bay where he frequented the waters aboard his family yacht the Wild Goose. We had a great visit and shopped around the Lavendar Festival grounds. Mike and Celia prompted up to visit Poulsbo, Washington to see a boating community. We will when we venture north.
John Wayne RV Park is located across the street from the Marina.
A very pleasant place to spend a couple of hours walking around the Sequim Bay marina and green space.
Re-furbished Beaumont Log Cabin. As early 1887 homesteaders, the Beaumont's lived in this cabin for nearly 40 years! It has been restored to display furnishings of the pioneer days 1850-1900!
The road is open during Summer; must carry chains in the Winter. We drive up on the Mount Angeles Road to the ridgetop
Visitor Center with spectacular 360-degree views!
Olympic Mountains.
The majestic Mount Olympus at 7,980 feet is the tallest and most prominent mountain in the Olympic Mountains of western Washington state.
We hiked up Sunrise Point and the views were stunning with the Strait of Juan de Fuca (we could see where our RV site is located) beyond we could see Victoria and Mount Baker (near where my brother, Mike, and Paul live). We plan to hike around Mount Baker when we visit Mike next month!
Snow country in the winter, Hurrican Ridge Ski and Snowboard Area has been operating since the late 50s. A steep rope tow, still in use, takes a lot of work to hang on!
Hurricane Hill, about 2 miles near the Visitor Center.
Deer hiking in the 'Restricted' area ....is very capable!
Returning from Hurrican Ridge on the highway.
Back to our final day during the Lavender Festival in Sequim. Very pleasant and beautiful walking about the Farms in the area. Visitors and guests are welcome to come view and stroll around acreas of fields of Lavender.
Visitors and locals
come for food and dance and being in the warm sun with happy people.
Tim walks around the fields and the seedling area too.
Time to leave this sunny land. The town mainstreet is charming and the farms are well kept and green where irrigated, and the pastorial atmosphere is in contrast to the Olympic Pennisula to the West.
Next stop is north to our Family Reunion. We are staying in Chimacum, CA at the Escapees Evergreen Coho SKP RV Park. Available exclusively to Escapees members; managed and maintained by individual members of the op-ops. Escapees members may purchase an SKP Co-Op membership, when available which entitles the use of a specified lot until sold back to the cooperative.
RVing is about freedom, discovery, new places & friendly faces.

Lovely fields of Lavender. We are glad we timed our stay in Sequim during the Lavender Festival we have read so much about. The Farms are all around the county and our choice which of the many to visit. We chose Washington (the white mansion) and this field demonstrating all the growth aspects (Victors Lavender Farm). Each delightful in their own way.
