Hurricane Ridge - October 2021

[Daboo]

I took off with a friend of mine, James, to Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic Peninsula yesterday. We'd just finished some rain storms, and the day was going to be good. Not too cold yet. Not nearly as hot as the summer was. And a promise of blue skies.

The route takes you through Port Gamble.

Kitsap Peninsula situated on the shores of scenic Hood Canal. Explore the 120-acre National Historic Landmark complete with picturesque, turn-of-the-century buildings filled with shops, an historic church, breathtaking views, expansive grounds and New England style houses on maple and elm tree-lined streets.

And of course, the leaves are changing colour...and still mostly on the trees and not on the road in the corners.

A nice part of riding to Hurricane Ridge, is the roads are in beautiful condition...a rarity nowadays.

Lots of deer. That's how close the deer were to us. I walked right by some within a few feet of me.

Mt. Olympus to the left.

Hurricane Hill in the background.

It was a good day, and with winter coming on, a day to treasure till next spring.
