Forks!

[urbpan]

Just a quick note from the road: We're in Forks, Washington, about to go to the Hoh Rainforest. I don't know why there's free wireless outside the visitor's center, but I'm not arguing. We're lucky to be here, considering that we basically snuck on a sold-out ferry, on account of it being a major holiday weekend in British Columbia. It meant waking up at 4 A.M., but we're here and happy about it. A little while ago we passed through the towns of Sappho and Beaver, a little disappointed we coudn't find souvenir tshirts emblazoned with the towns' names. Incredibly beautiful country out here, and after seeing a little bit of the rainforest on Vancouver Island, I can't wait to see more here. 365 Urban Species will resume in a day or so, with some wonderful Pacific species! Talk to you soon,

I hope you really enjoy what was my home away from home for my childhood years.

A little bit like being on another planet sometimes.

The Hoh Rainforest? That's an amazing coincidence.

I've never been there, but saw an ad for the place in a magazine, and thought it was so gorgeous, I tore it out and taped it to my wall, for when I'm really jonesing for some green, some trees, and moisture. I've wanted to go there ever since. I look at that photo ad at least three times a day.

And now you're there! Love it for me, will ya?

Right near the Hoh is the Quinault, which is also inspiring. Also home of the world's largest Sitka Spruce. I was in awe. Must go back soon.

Enjoy it!

oh my. i saw you featured and thought your journal sounded interesting...

never did i imagine you would mention the Hoh rainforest or Forks.

My mother, ex boyfriend, and i were driving to the Hoh from Seattle and our car broke down in forks. We had to stay in a motel there and it was hilarious. We rented a car and went to the hoh rainforest eventually but it was such a chore.

this brought back such memories....
thank you.
