Rain Shadow Loop — Thursday, Aug. 1, 2024

Olympic Peninsula > Northern Coast

. In bloom: catchflies, various asters, bellflowers.

Plants fruiting or no longer blooming: pasqueflowers, lilies, phlox.

Some biting flies, especially after sunset.

Road up to Deer Park in excellent shape compared to forest roads -- just a bit of washingboarding and almost zero potholes -- but lots of blind turns so take it slow and use the horn to announce your presence. I drive with window down so I can listen for hidden oncoming traffic.
