This state park is located just outside of Belfair, Washington, and is located on the east side of the southern end of Hood Canal. We stayed the weekend at this park, and I got a few pictures of the changing fall colors with it being the middle to end of October when we stayed here. …
USS Turner Joy Museum
This is an old destroyer ship that has been turned into a floating museum located in Bremerton, Washington. It is well worth the trip out, and like a few other of the things posted on this website, I have been here a few times. It is a really well put together museum, showing you what …
Potlach State Park
This is a state park located near the southern end of Hood Canal, just about five minutes south of Hoodsport, Washington.
