On the way to our campground, we stopped to race for Olympic Day at Port Angeles BMX track.
The boys did great there all placing in the top 3 for mains. We purchased a few track t-shirts to add to our collection. Jason and Nathan made friends with a new rider named Joe. He was on a stock bike and had some difficulty with his chain and had wrecked a few times. They sought Joe out and gave him encouragement. We were so proud! Before leaving the track, Jason Jr. gave him a Fortress jersey and Nathan gave him some Fortress shorts. Joe was so excited to receive them. Hopefully he would try again and race in the future.
After a long day of driving and racing, we ended up on the West coast of Washington in Kalaloch on the Pacific Ocean. It was late when we pulled in and a very tight squeeze into our spot.
In the morning, we went out to the beach and collected driftwood and rocks. It was low tide and there was plenty of flat, wet beach to run and play on. Too bad we didn't bring our skim boards. The view up the coast was amazing! It started to rain again so we all went back to the RV. Our plan was to go into Olympic National Park and hike that day but we didn't want to spend another day walking in the rain. We packed up early and headed towards Oregon.
The drive down the coast of Washington was very beautiful and slow but we were eager to get to Astoria. For all of you who were around in the 80's, this was where Goonies was filmed. One of my all-time favorite movies. There were many other great movies filmed here too. We drove to the jail which is now a museum and also to the beach where the rocks were shown by the old restaurant (no longer there) and even went to Mikey's house. It was really cool to see the actual movie props and scenery.
