Hey y'all. I'm going to be really nonchalant about the fact that I just got done bathing in the bathroom of this library and now I'm on their computer. I'm back in Forks now after an amazing night spent camping on the beach. If you search for La Push, WA on Google Maps, there's a label just south of the town for Strawberry Bay. That's right where I camped.
Getting to the beach required a 1.4 mile hike through the forest. The trail wasn't navigable by bike unfortunately so I locked my bike in the woods, strapped my bags over my shoulders, and trudged on to the beach. The hike there was all downhill so that was great. The way back, not so much.
The beach faced south so there wasn't any glorious view of the sunset, but it was truly beautiful regardless. I've never pitched my tent in a more beautiful place. And, with the exception of a couple on the far side of the beach, I had it all to myself! This was amazing song to listen to as the sun set.
The weather last night was some of the best I've seen in the Pacific Northwest. On a weather-related side note, if you can believe it, I have not been rained on once in the last 44 days. There was some light sprinkling once in Seattle, but I have not gotten wet because of rain since I started. Isn't that crazy?!

I'm still not sure where I'm going today and it's already 3 PM so I need to get off of the computer and figure it out. I'm probably headed for Kaloloch Beach 40 miles away. The rainforest idea kind of died this morning so we'll see. Forks is not a nice place and I want to leave as soon as possible. Enjoy the pictures!

Shahmeeeeeer! I have to admit I have shameless stolen your pic looking outside the tent as my background picture on my computer BUT it has served for a conversation piece here in my extremely rudimentary portuguese. "My friend Shahmeer bikes to the beach. We love being outside and the beach very much" hahahah
