Camp David Junior

I guess some of you are wondering about Camp David Junior, the wonderful lodge murals, the cabins and the setting on Lake Crescent. So here are some pics that should give you a better idea.

The lodge, Qui Si Sana,  has wonderful high cathedral ceilings. The original murals from the early 1900s were preserved when the lodge was updated and reinforced in 1981.

Here's a close-up of the mural in the corner behind the TV.  The colors are rich and vibrant despite the age of the murals.

Many of the cabins have wonderful skylights. This cabin is called Ne Yan  Da. The kids who come here for summer camp love the native american names for the cabins. I wish I knew the meanings.

The interior of the cabin is composed of three rooms. A central room and two bunk rooms. This cabin sleeps eleven. Note the great interior light and super sturdy bunks. 

Walking on Moss

Birthday celebration! Camping with my husband! I think we both had a great time. Here are some pics. Experiences not stuff - quiet moments, shared moments, lost in discovery. Wow!

This old tree stump is about six feet across. It must have been a huge tree.

This glade covered in moss is typical of the rainforest. Isn't beautiful?

Camping at Klahowya

 This beautiful old over grown root bundle marked the entrance path to our campsite.

 Sitting at the picnic table in our campsite we could watch the Sol Duc River flowing by.

 I went for a walk along this beautiful pathway. I was struck by the beautiful light and the arches.

This is a close -up of the ground cover on the left of the path. Nothing like the rain forest for a little dose of lush vegetation and peaceful quiet!
