Leaving the Peninsula, Aberdeen and Olympia: The Estate Takes on Alaska

August 20, 2019

We have mild temps, in the mid 50’s and favorable skies, mostly sun.  Considering this is a “RAIN” forest, I think we will count ourselves as very lucky to have 2 days of sun.

Seriously, they make the pines huge here.  I did a bottom to top panoramic.  LOL  It's a bit curvy.  You get the idea tho!


Go to the largest Sitka Pine in the World. It is one block away from our campsite - - if you look closely, you will see someone walking up to the tree, a small someone, well, they just look small, it was an adult!


Pull out of camp about 10:50. We are off to Olympia today.  No stops planned. 

Someone had trimmed some evergreens like bonsi, OR, they were just healthy shrubs of a different kind.  Sunflowers growing on the corner in downtown Aberdeen.

 Traffic in Aberdeen was horrible.  Just bad!  We were pretty much at a standstill for 20 to 30, maybe 40 minutes.  Sometimes it is good to not know the real numbers. 



We saw this along the way, and since my internet is so pathetic, I have no idea what it is, if you know, let me know - - 


We pulled over at a shopping center where we saw some fast food places, cause.  LOL  It is Tuesday, mid day and the parking lot is quite full.  Not like our all but defunct mall in our county seat.  Where are all these people going and all that shopping.  Man suggested possibly back to school shopping? 



On to Olympia where the campground is nice, laundry, clean up time.  It got HOT!  Low 80’s outside. We got the last full hookup site in the campground.  This time it was not that we were small enough, it was all the timing, just the timing of Man’s call to reserve.

 The electric pole we were supposed to use is wired wrong, polarity issue.  The Progressive electric minder would not turn on the power.  Saved by the Progressive.  We plugged into another power pole.
