Lake Quinault, WA


Lake Quinault Lodge, built in 1926, Adirondack style.


Lake and Sasquatch, aka yeti, aka Trish.


This 3-story rain gauge is front and center on the Lodge exterior.
The tan horizontal bar above the 12' mark indicates the amount
of rain in 2015: a mere 12.5 feet.


Yeti and I had lunch in the Roosevelt dining room (FDR ate here).
Keeping with the theme, Adirondack chairs grace the lawn.


World's largest Sitka Spruce tree, 1000+ years old, lives near the Lodge.


Hydrangeas abound in the area, obviously flourishing in the rain forest climate.

We stayed in a boutique RV park in Amanda Park on the Quinault River for 2 nights.  Only 5 RV sites and an 8-room motel; lovely place with friendly owner who sat and chatted with us awhile.  Pix below was taken at the RV park: fire ring, free firewood and chairs overlooking the River.
