I’m currently staying in Clallam Bay, Washington, not far from Cape Flattery, the most northwest point in the contiguous United States. When driving along twisting, uneven highway 112 on the way to Cape Flattery, I happened to see a whale spouting and diving in the Strait of Juan De Fuca next to the highway. When I found out there was a Passport America rv park in Clallam Bay, decided to stay in the area to try and see more whales. As of yet, have not seen any, but will continue to look.
Cape Flattery is pictured above. It was cold and wet when I was there, even though it was sunny in Neah Bay not far away. Seems to always have clouds over it. Want to go back at least once before I leave the area.
While searching the web for info about Cape Flattery, found these pictures of some people kayaking there.
More eagles! These were seen along Shipwreck Point on highway 112. They like to hunt along the beach at low tide. In the last picture, I was slowly making my way through tide pools and mushy sand, trying to get closer to the eagle and, just when I was getting close enough, it flew off!
I need a bumper sticker that says “I brake for eagles!”. Every time I see one fly overhead while I’m driving, I want to stop and pull over, but it’s not always possible.
Herons like to hunt at low tide as well.
