Camping at Second Beach

I went camping at Second Beach on the Olympic Peninsula with my sister, Rachel, and her daughters, Lily and Olivia. Second Beach is beautiful, but overrun with people. The ranger said that there were 175 people camping there on Saturday (and that’s just those who registered.) Fortunately, we went Sunday through Tuesday so there were less people, but there’s no place not overrun.

Start of the hike.

Lily learned how to make fires in camp, so she was in charge.
Reading stories around the campfire (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Modern touch: on a Kindle.)

The next morning we went to look at tide pools at low tide (while Rachel went back to the car and picked up chairs and more firewood.)

I brought my scope, just in case there was something to see
Later in the day, the sun came out, and we all hid from the heat. Olivia and Lily dug in the shade.
