>>It would be understandable for someone from a foreign country like Israel
>>or California to have not heard of Oly.
>>
>>Is Sacramento still the capital of California or is it Athens? (grin)
>>
>>Certainly some of you have heard of Olympia beer.

>>Yes part of that plan does sound like an excellent idea, but not all of 
>>it.
>>
>>You might want to get onto the PNT as a way to get to the Olympic
>>Peninsula and then hop onto the Gray wolf trail/ Dosewallips Trail /
>>West Dosewallips trail/ North Fork Skokomish Trail/ Lower South Fork
>>Skokomish trail. From the Lower South Fork Skokomish trail you could
>>follow these directions BACKWARDS to get to Shelton
>>
>>From US Highway 101, turn west
>>onto the Skokomish Valley Road (6 miles north
>>of Shelton and 7 miles south of Hoodsport).
>>Drive west on the Skokomish Valley Road from
>>the George Adams State Fish Hatchery for about
>>5 miles to FS Road #23. Turn right onto FS #23
>>and drive 9.0 miles to FS Road #2353. Turn
>>right onto FS #2353 and drive approximately _
>>mile to the South Fork Skokomish River Bridge.
>>Cross the bridge and make a sharp turn to the
>>left. Drive to the trailhead on the left.
>>LeBar Horse Camp entrance is on the right.
>>
>>Once in Shelton you could catch a bus to Olympia for one dollar .
>>
>>Hiking to the coast on the PNT would put her over 100 miles in the wrong
>>direction.
>>
>>
>>BTW Roni I read your PNT journal last week and I very much enjoyed it.
