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.

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.
