KOA, Port Angeles, WA:  Mike said there was a marine layer this morning, but by the time I showered, dressed, and ventured outside it had dissipated.  Another beautiful day!  So we drove back to Crescent Lake which we passed on our way to Port Angeles on Rt. 101.  What a beautiful lake!  It’s almost as blue as Crater lake.  And then in shallower areas it looks green or aqua.  Just beautiful!  And surrounded by lofty mountains covered in a lush conifer forest.  Checked out the lodge and decided to have lunch there.  After lunch we explored around the lodge grounds a little and then headed to the hot springs on a road which parallels the Sol Duc river.  Very pretty.  80 today.

Very fjord-like
