Map of driving for day

Another day in Washington, but today I headed to Olympic National Park, in Western Washington. The park has a rain forest (and it was raining there of course, I think I read that parts of the park get 20 feet of rain per year), which was really cool to walk around in. Beautiful huge trees, moss draping over everything, green every direction. I also stopped at a beach, and have pictures of the Pacific Ocean, and cool stuff in tidal pools. Overall, a really cool day, and I would highly recommend visiting this park, even though it is a bit out of the way.

Scary statistic: I have driven 1091 miles in Washington state, the past two days. If you include in what I drove on in Washington on Friday, and what I will be driving tomorrow, then the total is around 1550 miles. That is enough mileage to drive halfway across the USA, and in the span of 4 days I will have done it in one state, that is only about 400 miles wide. I should probably plan out my driving routes a bit better.
