I've had to make the long drive around before after not having reservations for a return trip that filled up fast. Won't make that mistake again.

What, that leisurely drive at 20 mph thru Seattle, Seatac, Federal Way, Fife and out to the bridge was too much for you?? :lol:

I was really hoping to avoid this kind of last minute change of plans, but considering the road is now open, I would be happy to meet up at the Heart of the Hills campground, just inside the park boundaries as you head to Hurricane Ridge from Port Angeles.

It's probably too late to wait for input/feedback, so I will again update the original post.

My kid is sick, so I'm coming alone. I'm up for some hiking around, but I won't be staying overnight. I expect we'll have a campfire; I'll bring some wood. I won't be singing, but I encourage others to.

I'm not sure how we're going to meet. I figure that will work itself out.

Hey all,

I am ensconced near Seiku and am back online. We went by the Visitor Center this afternoon and the Heart of the Hills campground is closed - fallen trees still blocking. So while the road is open to Hurricane Ridge, Heart of the Hills is out.

I suggest we go back to Plan A and meet at Dungeness Refuge. Wewill have a fire pit ala campground setup near as I can figure. I can check and see if I can leave a message/note at the Visitor's Center for confused/tricked pilgrims.

I will monitor this thread and help as I can

Hendo/Chris

I think I'll wait for something that will entertain the whole family, My wife and daughter love staying warm. I was hoping we would be able to bring the motorhome and make a weekend of it.

Test in flexibility. Back to your original plan - Dungeness. I will noodle on how to contact Plan A'ers.

Amzbrady - should be sunnier on Saturday.

So here it is 10pm the day before the event and names of park areas are being posted but not once have I seen any semblance of a map. If I am going to drive 3 hrs for an event I expect to have some posted directions.

Okay,

Here is the link to the Dungeness Recreation Area Campground. Let's meet at the Group Camp.

Search google maps for this Rec area for road map.

Hang in there everyone. We had to deal with a last minute access change by the Olympic Nat Park that we thought would get us into a Park campground but not to be. So - relax - let's go back to our plan for the Dungeness Rec Area.

Campfire, food, great view and location, good companions, gun stories - what's not to like.

Look forward to seeing any and all

Hendo/Chris
