SHELTON-YIASON COUNTY JOtmNXL
Olympic Loop Highway Will Provide Many Scenic Thrills
The following is the acount of
a trip taken two weeks ago by
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Myers dm'-
ing Tom's vacation from The
Journal mechanical staff:
The question of "where to go"
when ,vacation time rolls around
is a never-ending problem. The
choice between mountains, lakes
or beach is a tough one, but the
solution is simple.
A trip around the "loop" on the
Peninsula will cover all the choices
--and it's practically in our own
back yard. Strangely enough,
too, few of the local people have
really made the trip around the
loop, although everyone plans to
"someday."
Well, to those who haven't done
it, we can now say, "Brother, you
don't know what you're missing!"
We started about noon Sunday,
top, although the road is one con-
tinuous series of hairpin curves,
and is steep enough to make the
car grumble at being driven in sec-
ond gear.
There arc no guard-rails on the
sides, either, to give you a feeling
of security when you sneak a
glance over the side. (I didn't:)
From the top, though, the vista is
awe. inspiring.
See For Miles
/lthough it as a little hazy,
down the canal, and looked over
down the canal, and lo0k over
most of Puget Sound, and even
spotted Port Discovery and Dun-
genness. Funny thing, too--the
mosquitos were fierce up there at
the top of the mount aim
From Mr. Walker we headed,
north again and stopped for lunch
at Port Discovery on the spot:
said to be the landing place of
beautiful series of sights we'll
never forget.
Dipping down into the Olympic
National park we followed the
shoreline of beautiful Crescent
Lake for its entire length'---and
every turn brought a new pano-
rama of the scenic grandeur of
the region. High mountains sur-
round the lake at every point,
some rugged, rocky snow-capped
peaks, others softly rolling bluffs.
Giant cedars and firs centuries old
make the picture complete.
Move On Again
We would have lingered there,
but the sun was sinking low, so
we moved on again.
After passing a stretch of high-
way which was rough--being im-
proved by road crews--we reached
Sappho.
We were somewhat surDrised by
Sappho, a queer little town with
A stiff westerly breeze was whip-
ping up the spray and bringing
huge waves crashing on the shore.
We hadn't realized before how
chilly it could get on such a beau-
tiful, sunny day.
On to Winlock
We finally left the ocean for
good and drove through Hoquiam
and Aberdeen to Raymond where
we spent the night, then on to
Winlock to visit relatives, stopping
enroute at Rainbow Falls park,
a pretty little state park. , West of
Winlock we climbed a hill to a
lookout where we could see the
valley south of Chehalis, and also
got a fine view of Mr. Rainier and
Mt. St. Helena.
On our entire trip around the
Olympic highway loop we en-
countered no heavy traffic, and
therefore enjoyed the drive to the
fullest. The absence of tourists

alach, in a State park. We
walked down to the beach and
gathered shells and rocks. The
ocean was very calm, but looked
beautiful,- even to us land-lubbers.
We saw the ocean again later
at Moelps, after we had driven
through the Quinault reservation,
and that time it wasn't so calm.
