Day 63 - Olympia WA - 7295 Miles

On Thursday, our last day in Port Angeles, we didn't have any plans so we picked up a Subway sandwich and hiked up to Hurricane Ridge (by car) and had lunch at one of the most perfectly situated picnic tables imaginable. I think the $15 fee for Olympic National park put me over the top for breaking even on my annual park pass.



Friday we drove back to Olympia. We're spending the time here in a hotel under consideration for next summer. It's high priced and not particularly impressive so the likelihood isn't very high. Saturday morning Terry did laundry while I drove back to Port Angeles to pick up the my camera battery and charger that I left at the hotel. Sometimes there's a price to pay for stupidity.

Saturday afternoon we stumbled upon another festival, this time in downtown Olympia. Last weekend was the lavender festival in Sequim. This was slightly different. It was the 10th Annual Hempfest. Hemp seems to attract a slightly different crowd than lavender. Lots of people were offered weed to buy, but for some reason no one approached us. In fact people seemed to avoid us in general. It wasn't age, although the other people our age had a somewhat different look to them. Terry's theory was people were suspicious of her "Jesuit Mom" t-shirt from when Chris was in high school. I did learn 100% feminized marijuana is best, but I don't know why. I also know where to go should I ever need a large assortment of bongs.




We also saw what I can only assume was an upscale food booth. I must be pretty trendy stuff since I can buy a bag of sunflower seeds for a buck, but there were selling five seeds for $50! Also I can buy a whole box of girl scout cookies for $4, but they were selling just three cookies for $50. I can' believe feminized girl scout cookies are that much better.
