We drove to Cape Flattery, the most northwestern part of the lower 48 states; however, it was run by an Indian Reservation and they wanted $20 for a pass. So we found a beach on the mouth of the Sooes River at Bahobohosh Point. It was unoccupied and the boys had a blast running around and going in the warm tide pools.
We had an injury on the beach so it wasn’t all fun and games. Marcel rubbed his head against barnacles and the barnacles won. It didn’t stop him from having a great time exploring and chasing his brother.
After running on the beach, we decided to sit in our car by the ocean to enjoy some cell phone coverage (we have no service at our campground). A reservation police officer pulled up and asked if we had the pass. She said we could either pay the $20 or she would escort us off the reservation. So we were kicked off the reservation by police escort tailing us for 8 miles. In our defense, there was no clear signage on the major roads indicating the borders of the reservation. Plus, we were parked on the side of a public road with likely easement of 15-20 feet so I’m not sure how much authority this tribal police officer had in this situation. No matter – we were ready to leave anyway.
The road home took us by some beautiful vistas.
On the way back to the campground, we stopped at Ancient Groves Nature Trail which has 750 year old Western Hemlock and Douglas Fir trees. It was stunning and one of Daniel’s favorite places in the park so far.

We took the boys for a walk on one of the few trails dogs are allowed in the national park. The Spruce Railroad Trail is a paved trail which runs through the woods next to a beautiful lake. We passed mostly bikers with dogs in baskets or carts. It was extremely enjoyable and we ended up walking 6+ miles.

Cove RV Park, Brinnon, Washington
We met our neighbors who are from Holland. Apparently, it’s common for Europeans to travel to the US, rent an RV, and travel.
There is a family camping a few sites down with a Wolf Pup 17JG which is our camper model. We love our camper and so does the family we met. We shared our website so they could see some of the modifications we have done.
Today is a travel day! We are going south to stay in Brinnon, WA for one night.
