This is my first hike with Tony and Starla since they have returned from Tennessee. Having them live on the Olympic Peninsula makes for an easy base camp for expeditions instead of camping just for a day hike from Seattle. Today we got to a late start not waking till after 9am and with a 1.5 hour drive + roadwork we didn’t get on the trial until 12:45pm. Great weather, except it was kind of hot, 85 degrees at the trailhead when we started.
Learning random stuff:
Infants at birth have about 10 inches of sight. This is about the distance between the breasts and the mother’s eyes.—so the new born can start to build the attachment to the mother.
