Dungeness Spit

Image
After a long winter dealing with a few getting-old issues and little opportunity for fun and exploring, we finally got a chance to test our legs on a relatively easy hike.  Dungeness Spit is about a 5 mile sliver of sand and driftwood sticking out from the Olympic Peninsula into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.  A lighthouse anchors the far end, and we got a chance to climb it and see the view.  The weather was beautiful, and visitors few.  Pretty tame by our standards, but it was great to stretch our legs, get some nice fresh air, and enjoy the beautiful scenery Lighthouse View from lighthouse (Olympic Mtns in background) Submarine caravan Evening in Kingston More Photos Random Questions What are those boats accompanying the submarine past the spit?  Answer:  Supply ships.  Makes sense that they need supplies, but don't the surface ships give significant info on the subs actual whereabouts?
