Day 50, 9:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct 3, KOA Seattle/Tacoma, 10,216 miles

arrived in port angeles at 12:30.  decided to abandon option of touring Olympic. peninsula again, and moved on to Seattle/Tacoma.  decided to stay at KOA there when it came up to 5:00 and dogs hadbeen in  Defender since 6:00.  no cabins there but decided to dry tent out and do all laundry.  not a particularly nice KOA, but it'll have to do.

tomorrow i hope to make it to Boise, 500 miles.  that's pushing it.

this is the part of the trip i like least and not because the trip is ending.   stare parks and many KOAs are closing is one reason.  but the traffic jams and speeding traffic on the interstates are enough to make me lose all the benefits of the trip literally overnight.  we americans are always in a hurry to go nowhere fast.
