Hiking Oyster Dome

The last time I was in WA my friend Laurie asked if I would want to hike Oyster Dome with her. Hubby is still having ankle issues after breaking it, so I decided "Why not?". The weather was supposed to be better......needless to say, we were on the Puget Sound so weather changes fast.

Trying to get a selfie with the Pacific Northwest Trail sign. Clean, dry and happy! 

The trail was in pretty good shape although it climbs almost 2000 feet in 3.25 miles, so some areas were very steep.

I am inspired by these two photos (and the hike itself) to make a small quilt to commemorate this beautiful area.

We rocked the hike although the top was very windy and cold and we couldn't see anything from there. 

Even as the day cleared up the top of Oyster Dome was shrouded in clouds.

It always is so pretty no matter what the weather is doing.

I took this at an oyster farm! If you have ever seen Dirty Jobs with the geoducks, this is where that was filmed. (Laurie had to bring oysters home to her husband) I will say there were nothing like the ones I ate in a Boston restaurant.

It was a doozy of a hike and after being in the car I am stiff. I've got a 10 mile run on tap for this week! Yikes!!

Have a healthy weekend!
