Sol Duc, Salmon Cascades

We continued our journey north on hwy 101.  We stopped in Forks, WA.
We were told it was only about a half hour to Fairholm campground on the North side of the Olympics at Crescent Lake.

The campground was partially open, but right on hwy 101.
We looked at the map and decided to head up Sol Duc River to a campground there that was further off the highway.

We had to stop at a National Parks booth, and the ranger got a kick out of Natasha. 


Natasha has her little hole she likes to ride in when not on Suzi's lap.  When she pops her head up she reminds us of a prairie dog popping out of its hole.  We have a plastic bin that she made a nest in.
That is Gator in the photo with her.


At Sol Duc campground we found the perfect site for a truck camper. 

Those are some huge logs up the hill behind the site.


We backed the camper up to the log and it was perfect height to get into the camper. 
Not enough room for a tent or anything though.


Just down the road from the camp was Salmon Cascades.  


It was a rare site, a short trail down to the cascades with no signs regarding dogs...  So we took them with us.

You can see where the tree broke.  I wonder how much sound and vibration that one made. 

I don't think Gator and Bailey were impressed with stopping for a photo opp.


This pool of water was just below the Salmon Cascades.


This little tree was nursing off of the larger tree.
