Day 3- The Bogachiel

I woke up on an amazing point looking out into the ocean. The northern Washington coast is amazing on a nice day. At one point i looked out and on a rock were a dozen seals sunning themselves. I walked some great sandy beaches with my shoes off the rest of the morning and then found the trail putting the beach behind me. That's where my day went downhill. After the trail there were many miles of logging roads to walk. I went a few miles down the wrong one and as expected, it began to rain. Wonderful, now I have to backtrack and get all my stuff wet. Good thing I have a solution to every problem. I put this small lightweight umbrella on my pack to cover me and my stuff and decided to bush whack a mile across dense forest to get back on the right road. One of these decisions turned out to be a good idea. The cross country mile turned out to be through a swamp. I made it through at least but adding swamp smell to my already unique aroma was not what I had planned. 12 miles of logging road walking later I arrived at Bogachiel state park.  First I needed a shower.  An hour in the bathroom later I was clean. And restocked on toilet paper, dry clothes from the handdryer, recharged phone, clean dishes, full water bottles, and a face clean of the dried blood from my face plant. Next up was finding somewhere to stay. I  got invited to stay with a Finnish couple. They fed me too and invited me to stay for breakfast. I enjoyed exchanging travel stories with them.  Hopefully I can sleep tonight - there are some insane people here especially when it come to fireworks. Tomorrow I will hitchhike into Forks, Washington for laundry and some more food. Then onward to port Townsend. My phone recently broke from the saltwater but lucky for everyone these blogs should be unaffected.
