Backpacking/Camping on Third Beach in the O.P.

We spent this last weekend with our neighbors, Danny and Becky, backpacking down to Third Beach on the Olympic Penninsula. We lucked out with no rain and a prime camping spot on the beach. I think the prime spot on the beach was due to the overcast weather we had all weekend. There was very few people camping on the beach.

Our second day there we took a day hike up and over the mountain (really it felt like that) and along the coast line. We dropped down into another small bay and then headed back to our campsite. Throughout the weekend we saw a little bit of wildlife...a bald eagle, many brightly colored sea anenomes and seastars, a family of skunks, a mama deer and her baby, and a dead sea pup that washed up on the shore at high tide. It was a great little weekend getaway with our neighbors.
