Olympic National Forest

We left the OxBow campground this morning looking for someplace to camp in the forest. Boy that is tough… all of the forest is managed by the state and that means timber rights, so just about every road is closed or blocked by whomever ‘owns’ that piece of forest, or whomever has rights to access it. I don’t fully understand WA rules, I just know there is super limited forest and forest camping access.

But, we did find a road, and it did have an old gravel pit of some sort, and it does have lots of sun for my solar, and so we stopped!

We’re like 30 mi west of Port Angeles and just a little west of Lake Crescent, but on the south side of 101 here.

We arrived early, before noon, but we did some exploring in case there was any other place to go, but we didn’t find anything. We’ll plan to stay here for a few days to see how annoying it gets with other people coming and going, if we like it maybe a week and if we love it maybe 2 weeks!
