The Dungeness River

February 15, 2017December 7, 2009

The Dungeness River flows north from the Mountains on Washington’s Olympic peninsula along side the city of Sequim and empties into the Strait of Juan de Fuca which separates the United States from Canada’s Vancouver Island (and, coincidentally, my birthplace, Victoria).

Along the way from mountains to ocean, the Dungeness passes the small community where our vacation rental happens to be located.

So this morning I went for a walk.

A Few Days in Sequim

February 15, 2017December 6, 2009

Sequim, Washington, on the north coast of the state’s Olympic Peninsula, is a two and a half hour drive and ferry-ride from home, and a world away. We decided to take a few days away prior to Christmas, staying at one of the Sequim Retreats vacation rentals owned by a very good friend.

Naturally I took the opportunity to dry-run some of the things I plan for our longer trip earlier next year.
