MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN THE OLYMPICS
WE'VE ELECTED TO SPEND THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND RUNNING (AND HIKING) IN THE OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK. WE'LL MAKE THE ELWAH RIVER AREA, NEAR PORT ANGELES, WA, OUR HOME FOR THE WEEKEND. THE ELWAH CAMPGROUND WILL SERVE AS OUR BASE OF OPERATIONS AS WE EXPLORE THE RIVER VALLEY AND THE RIDGES THAT FUNNEL THE MELTING SNOW TO THE PUGET SOUND. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR PERSONAL TRAINING NEEDS ARE THE TRAILS TO MATCH THEM WILL BE NEAR BY AND FOR THE MOST PART SNOW FREE. SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY HAVE SPECIFIC ROUTES PLANNED EACH WITH VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR SHORTER ROUTES. COME OUT FOR ALL THREE OR WHATEVER FITS YOUR SCHEDULE .(WE'LL ACTUALLY BE THERE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS WELL SO COME EARLY TOO IF YOU WANT!) NEARLY EVERY MILE OF THE 109 MILES PLANNED ARE SINGLE TRACK TRAIL AND THERE ARE HOT SPRINGS NEARBY AND OF COURSE THE RIVER FOR SOOTHING OUR ACHES. BEING JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM PORT ANGELES MAKES GETTING TO THE CAMP AND TRAILHEADS A BREEZE AND THEREFORE NEGATES ANY EXCUSES. SO... COME ON, LET'S RUN!!
