We just did the fairly annual week of the Juan de Fuca Festival in Port Angeles, followed by a few days off camping.

The festival was great this year; we saw many amazing acts, like Leroy Bell here, an amazing songwriter and singer.
wide beaches
Then we headed off to the wild Pacific coast to camp.
did I mention you can drive on this beach?
June is never particularly warm around here, but we lucked out for a few days with lots of sunshine. I swam in Lake Quinault, which was freezing cold, but after a while I just went numb to it and it was wonderful.

There weren’t any good typewriters in the few antique shops I found, but there was an interesting old LC Smith on display in Olympic Stationers in P.A.

When it isn’t raining the beaches are wonderful.

interesting heap of debris

We always love to see restored vintage camp trailers like this one, an old Shasta.

Saw a lovely butterfly, too.
I regret not doing more sketching, but with driving, cooking & eating, sleeping late and general laziness I only had time for a few watercolours.
