Lake Quinault Lodge

Before the holidays began, My wife and I went to Olympic National Park outside of Seattle. We stayed several nights at the Lake Quinault Lodge. Because it was off season, there were hardly any guests. We had the joint to ourselves just like in The Shining, minus the axe. One day it rained so hard for 24 hours that it recorded the worst flooding in decades. It caused a tree to fall on one of the lodge buildings. When I say tree, I mean like a 300 foot one. We hung out at the lobby to stay dry which gave me a chance to draw the fireplace. The other days we hiked the trails.
