Olympic it is

The Olympic Peninsula, from what people tell me, is an often forgotten sidenote to Washington’s fortunes — and misfortunes. That’s hard to imagine, given the area’s tremendous beauty, natural resources and wonderful people. You can sample much of that heading west on Route 101 and veering off onto spur roads that take you to temperate rainforests, misty beaches, crystal blue lakes and, occasionally, the town you should probably avoid. I’ll be entering Oregon tomorrow, but leaving the great state of Washington with wonderful memories!
