Raindrops Keep Falling on our Heads

Sunset over Quinalt Lake, Washington
The Olympic rainforest is compelling with its flora and fauna... its creatures large and small.  Still, we know that more rain is coming... it is predicted over the next four days.  We have, however, relished our two days of sunshine.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quinalt.  On a hike, we witnessed the richness of this amazing temperate rainforest ecosystem.  Our last trip around our "wildlife loop," we saw two and heard a third bull elk vying for a harem.  Our final evening here, David built a campfire while I captured a beautiful sunset over the lake.

The Olympic peninsula is an intriguing, beautiful place; however, we are now on a quest for a dryer climate... but where?
