July 17 - Back to an urban setting

The day to meet Rich has finally arrived. Packed up and took a route to Tacoma around the northern peninsula. We saw incredibly steep tall mountains and a lovely lake. As soon as we reached Port Angeles we got great views north to Vancouver Island and the Sound. Our route to the campground took us past the Tacome harbor and scrap metal loading area. The heavy industry was quite shocking. We entered a peaceful residentail area and found the campground. The is an urban setting and the noise levels from the campers really increase. We setup quickly, left Mike and Rocky at the camp, went to do laundry and then hightailed it to the airport. Rich had to wait a while for us, but it was good to see him. Rob made dinner for us all. We are playing musical beds - I am in Rob's, Rich is in Ant's and they share the double.
