Disappointment – campground
We had a nice drive down Hwy. 101 to Ilwaco, then south a
short distance to Cape Disappointment State Park in the lower region of coastal
Washington. We are very happy with our
first impression, and our site is excellent.
We are going to hate to leave here.
Once we got settled in, we walked a short distance to the ocean, and it
was glorious! It was nearing high tide,
so our first glimpse of the ocean here was exciting to see. We were within sight of one of the two
lighthouses in the state park, as well, so after chatting with another couple
for a while, we walked down the beach.
We read that fog is present 106 days out of the year….that’s nearly 1 in
every 3 days! We’ll take advantage of
the sunny days, and geo-cache on the cloudy ones. I’m glad I loaded those 90 caches at our last
spot as we have no wifi or internet service to our coach. We found a place
where our Verizon internet will receive and send out e-mails, so we’ll have to
go back to the old way of doing this on ‘Word’ and transferring them to my blog
when we can get online. Jim is having a
hard time setting the satellite dish up, also, but it might be because of the
heavy cloud cover, or the many trees here.
This park has many hiking trails and we are anxious to check them
out. We need to start building up our
stamina for the hikes in AZ when we get there!
