Day 210 - Forks Locomotive

Trains were used extensively in this area to haul lumber and support logging camps. Once roads were built, they fell out of favor since trucks were much cheaper to operate.

Day 210 - Cape Flattery, Viewing Platform

This is the farthest point NW on the continental United States. It is a short (3/4 mile?) hike from the parking lot and suffers from rough weather, but is well worth the trip if you ever make it out this way and dress for it.

Day 210 - Cape Flattery, Mom & JL

Mom and I finally made it to the last of the four 'corners' of the continental US. The point was actually about 3/4 of a mile down this trail, which was much too difficult for Mom, so we just took our picture at the trail head.
