Hurricane Ridge

I headed for the ferry terminal early this morning to jump the sound over to Bainbridge Island, and after cruising around a bit, I decided to explore the infamous Hurrican Ridge.. It's a long squiggly line on the map just south of Port Angeles, WA on the Olympic Peninsula. The ride from here to there is nice, but rather flat and somewhat boring.. there are the occasional views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and of course the Olympic mountains looming to the south.

Welcome to Hurricane Ridge.. check out the deer right at the bottom of the frame..


The road up there was pretty cool.. pretty twisty and certainly mountainous.. if you ask me, though, the speed limit could be a little higher and there could be a few less blue-hairs in Priuses..




Waiting for my ferry... the cool part is motorcycles can cut all the way to the front of the line..
they're loaded first and exit first.. sweet.


I love riding the ferries.. it's just perfectly gorgeous.


..And the view of Seattle..


Once again I didn't pay attention to mileage.. it was a good days ride..
