It is not for nothing that they call it the EVERGREEN STATE,here falls enough water to keep everything green all year long. Once again we keep going to the end of this step, the USA. We found refuge behind a school, in Naselle, for our first night. We had chosen well the place for a sky night but without consideration for Mother Nature! The rain awoke us in the middle of the night, the roof which covered us was not big enough. We have camped in 2 different state parks (Lake Sylvia State Park and Dosewallips State Park) but hikes and bike sites are expensive ($14 a night). We tried to arrive late and leave so we could be free of charge. The road we ride is easy, we followed 401 to get Naselle, the 101 to Montesano and then the 12 and 108 to get the 101 again, it is mostly flat. The segment between Potlatch State Park and Brinnon is really magnificent, we go along the water and the traffic is quiet. On the road to Port Angeles, to take the ferryboat for Canada, we had a magnificent view on snowdrift mountains from British Colombia.
