Hoh Oxbow Campground

We arrived here a few days ago, I think 8 July. We are at the Hoh Oxbow Campground and it’s really great. It’s a free campground for starters, but it’s great. Clean bathrooms, great view, and it’s run by the Washington DNR (Dept of Natural Resources). They run a number of campground around the area and the state, and at least around here, all of the campgrounds have room for me! So many small campgrounds have room for only tents or small trailers.

The site has been super shaded so no solar power, so we’ve ran the generator 2 or 3 hours a day.

We are right on and looking over the Hoh River. There are a couple of pictures below; it gets it’s color from glacier melt from up in the Olympic Mountains.

We’ve done a lot of resting and recuperating here, from having had Covid. I’m just fine, even got my sense of smell back full force. It never went away, but it did get weaker for sure! Tira lost hers not completely, but pretty close. She’s doing well too, today is day 12 for her I think, and even though the CDC says 10 days before you can go unmasked in public because you’re cured… Tira is still suffering from a pretty bad shortness of breath and a slight trouble breathing. She’s using her asthma inhaler and doing ok, though.

While here we did some sightseeing from the truck, got stuck in a ditch and had to be towed, drove up to the Hoh Rainforest, also, I got to find a couple of geocaches.

Other than that lots of resting. Did I mention how beautiful it is here?

I took this after a short walk with Penne to look for a geocache.

We sat here for about and hour and a half waiting for a tow.
