Forks 101 RV Park - Forks, WA

Well, today was a bit of a wild day. We started off just fine. We were tempted to stay another day at our campsite by the bay, but after the traffic noise through the night, we decided to move on. So, as we were packing up this morning, we were greeting by jumping fish, giant blue jays, birds with red/orange feet, and a couple of seals to send us off. Then, we were cruising along just fine, when a police car raced by us. After about three minutes, we could see why. Someone had just had a run in with a login truck. Logs were everywhere, and there was a car in the woods on the side of the rode. We were only about six cars back. Thankfully, without being anyhow involved. But, needless to say, this set us back a while. I would say almost 2 hours while we waited for everything to clear up. We did have another visual with Washington’s helicopter support squad as someone needed to be airlifted out. Not the best experience, but rather interesting to watch it all unfold. Anyway, we went on our way to the Olympic National Park Visitor Center. After checking in with the Park Rangers and watching the educational film, we decided to try and find a campsite for the night. This was one of the few times where we felt like we were scrambling a little just because we were set back in our timeline. In any event, we cut off one corner of Washington we were going to explore because the campsite options were so spotty. We ended up pulling into a site that said ‘No Vacancy’, but seemed to have some empty spots. So, we checked, and luckily, they had some cancellations. We ended up in a nice quiet campsite for the night and we’ll see where the road takes us tomorrow…
