It’s not an adventure until something goes wrong.

Even with a few wrong turns, one too many “This is not a trail” dead ends (how can a road exist on a dozen maps but not exist in real life?!), and a 🐝 sting, what a day!

The North Shore Rd gravel always delights and Tahuya has so many forest roads to explore.

Unfortunately after wasting all sorts of time screwing around with maps trying to re-route ourselves we didn’t make it down to the Skokomish, next time!
