Last week, Linda and I traveled to Neah Bay and Cape Flattery for a 3-day getaway. We left early and caught the 7:55 ferry to Bainbridge Island. Then we drove through Poulsbo and Port Angeles, nearly 3 1/2 hours, to reach the Bullman Beach Inn between Sekiu and Neah Bay. The motel is right on the beach of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and we have a room with a view of the beach and a kitchen. The kitchen is important because we brought our own food for all three meals a day.
After unpacking the car, we made sandwiches for lunch. Then we were off to hike to Cape Flattery. Along the way, we stopped at the Makah Museum to purchase the needed recreational permit for the hike. Although it had been off-and-on rainy for the whole day, during our hike on the 3/4-mile trail to Cape Flattery it was dry and relatively warm. And while we were at the cape, it was even a little sunny. But as we returned to the car, it started to rain and got us somewhat wet, and it rained for most of the drive back.
Here are some photos from the hike.
Upon our return to the motel, we did some birdwatching from the deck of our room to the beach. Then we enjoyed some wine, cheese and crackers, and finally roast chicken prepared by PCC and green beans from Linda’s garden for dinner.
