Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge

5/17/08 Dungeness Spit Lighthouse

Annie, Mo and I left Federal Way area 6:00 AM arrived in parking lot at 8:45. We had a slight detour in Bremerton. I really need to invest in a navigation system. Great day to hike, weather was a bit breezy at times, but overall very comfortable. The 5.5 miles to the lighthouse was much easier than the way back. We saw many deer, birds, dead fish of some kind washed up the beach, tons of ships. We also encountered several men with shirts off, one older gentleman wearing just a Speedo! The warm weather brings all kinds.. not sure what that was about, but good for him letting it all out. I’m nursing sunburn and back issues today but it was worth it. Amazing views from all sides. I can scratch this hike off my list. Drive 4.5 hours (200 miles), hike 5 hours (11 miles).
