This morning we said goodbye to the Seven Cedars casino and drove West to Sequim, where we found the cheapest diesel I’ve ever seen:

From there, we continued West to Port Angeles and Olympic National Park:

The road to Hurricane Ridge climbs about 5000 feet of vertical over 18 miles from the visitor center, so I decided to give it a shot:

4895 feet of vertical over 17.9 miles:

After the ride, we drove back into Port Angeles to overnight at the Walmart. See the trip map for today’s drive and our current location.
