We woke up to an even rainier day today and decided a shower would be nice. The campsite suggested the swimming pool in nearby Port Angeles that was closed for the month of July (odd timing). No shower so we decided to go on a hike in the park again. The drive was ridiculously foggy and it is actually kind of scary to go through a tunnel filled with fog. There is this eerie dim light at the end but otherwise it is just an oppressing darkness. Try it sometime.
The hike was actually above all of the clouds and it was amazing to see the valleys from above filled with thick clouds. At the trailhead there was a sign that said in large letters “Goat Warning”. The sign went on to describe a goat in the area that had been aggressively approaching hikers and trying to ram them (it was cuter when we pictured a little farm goat, not a mountain one). The sign suggested throwing rocks and insults at the aggressive beast to scare it away. Also, urinating along the trail was discouraged as the asshole goat was perverted enough to enjoy licking up the pee. This was all very funny but we took the warnings seriously during the hike. We wondered how many innocent goats had been stoned in this area because of the one bad apple and the sign he inspired. Otherwise it was a very steep hike that was filled with beautiful wildflowers and great views of the valleys below. Since it was chilly and damp back at the campsite we just tuckered down in the tent with Oso and relaxed before going to sleep.
