out on the peninsula...

2009.06.06
we asked for some bread to feed the animals at the game farm, expected a handful of something like a biscuit. so we were surprised when the folks tossed us an entire loaf of regular bread.

it's a llama. a nice one.

a yak. trying to get in the car.

one of the many bears the farm had.

the waving bear. i couldn't get him to wave for the camera, though.

elk.

elk checking out the car.

small, white deer. these guys were flocking to the cars like pigeons.

we were told not to stop for these guys, considering their heads wouldn't have even fit through the window - probably bigger than the car door. apparently, they've caused a lot of damage to previous visitors' rides trying to stick their heads in.

up at hurricane ridge.

the fog started rolling in while we were walking around.

the deer up their have gotten so used to people, that the dogs didn't even intimidate them.

rialto beach. we hopped all along these logs all the way to the islands.

leeann while she was waiting for me to pack my gear.


these were all over the rocks once we got to the islands, along with starfish and barnacles everywhere.

mussels, too.

there were a few of these guys hanging out along the beach.

the long walk back.

camp.

lights out.

first day of camping out on the peninsula. we ended up stopping by this game farm where they had some retired show animals. the waving bears was probably the highlight of that.

hurricane ridge was the next stop. we got a glimpse of the olympic range right before the fog came in and engulfed everything.

we finally got to the camp site, settled in and made dinner. went for a hike to burn it off and ended up at the coast, which was only a couple miles away. after all the log and rock hopping with a 40-some pound camera bag, the walk back seemed a lot longer than it should've been.

TheCrazyCroat Looks like you went out to the wildlife reserve in Sequim? I'm supposed to go there Sunday.

etodd80 Looks like you had fun. I went to that game farm a long time ago. Sweet shot of the yak.. #11 is pretty cool too. How was your firewood supply at camp?

Widcat These are wonderful. That eagle picture makes me jealous.

Andre721 #11 and #18 are really nice shots. I've seen one of those buffalo ram a car that was ahead of me when I was there long ago... busted the driver's side window glass. I don't know what the driver did to piss it off. It looks like you had fun.
