Sequim (pronounced "squim") and Dungeness Spit sounds a bit like one of Captain Haddock's (from the TinTin book series) colorful expletives, but it couldn't be further from it - Sequim is one of the most beautiful cities we've seen on our trip so far, and Dungeness Spit is a narrow piece of land that juts out five miles into the heavily traveled and gorgeous Strait of Juan De Fuca (waterway between Washington and Canada - we can see Victoria, British Columbia from our campground).
We plan on staying here a week or so, exploring the Spit and Sequim and the nearby National Park campgrounds, trails, and waterfalls. We've only really just arrived, but I sense that it's going to be awesome.

| Here's the trail down to view the Strait, that fence on the left borders our campsite (#12) |
 |
| This is the trail to the left, looking toward Port Angeles |
 |
| Looking down from the trail is the beach, the seagulls, and the surf |
 |
| A big cargo ship passes through the Strait (Canada behind it) |
 |
| To the right, you can see Dungeness Spit (sounds like Crab saliva, but it isn't) - we may hike out there tomorrow |
