We spent Christmas day with our grandchildren, aged 4 and 6. They played hard and we were exhausted. Today we took the day to drive into the Olympic National Forest to find this dashpoint. The day was rainy, typical Washington weather, especially in the rainforest. It was a good thing that I had my GPS, there were many roads that carved deep into the forest and without good guidance, we never would have gotten close to this point. The higher elevations were completely obscured by the low clouds. After gaining a fair amount of altitude, we descended and crossed a fast moving stream, already within the scoring circle. A left turn immediately after the bridge got us closer. I parked and walked down to the stream, where the area along the edge was strewn with rounded black rocks of various sizes up to about 5 inches across. It was obvious that the water level in the stream is even higher at times. A short walk downstream brought me to an area of shallower water causing some white water and a wonderful sounds of rushing water. About 200 feet further downstream, this larger stream merged with a smaller one and a small water fall cascaded down a steep embankment and into the stream.
What a wonderful point to score after so many mid-western corn fields and gently rolling hills.
