Traveling day:
Hoquiam River RV Park/Hoquiam/Aberdeen, Washington
After Oregon's breathtaking coastlines...our introduction to Washington State this morning was a four mile bridge.  After that, the scenery wasn't beauty, but a series of harvested forest areas with splintered tree trunks and dried up timber laying all over...it looked like a (tree) battlefield. The other surprise was sandy mud as far as you could see at times...we were trying to decide if it was at low tide or just stayed in this wet state...at any rate, it was different than anything we have experienced yet.   Certainly, there is a name for this terrain, but I really don't know what it is. 

We took one little off road trip into a State Park to see North Head Lighthouse at Cape Disappointment....which was a point where Lewis and Clark actually were confirmed to have been.  This was a beautiful site...photos following. 

Stan pulled in at a sea food plant along one of the towns we were going through, to see if they gave tours.  I had no interest in doing this one...you could smell it from the street...so he took the tour himself (which he said amounted to peering through a window on a room of people shucking oysters).  Hilton Seafood was the company name...and I have used their products from time to time.  This town was advertised as The Oyster Capital of the World
