Title: peabody creek trail 10/9/2021 11am?
Post by: RyRy on October 02, 2021, 07:33:50 PM: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/washington/peabody-creek-trail

After this head into town for the https://www.crabfestival.org/ festival for some yummy dinners (Sorry Iuri I'm sure they will have a non-seafood dish for you)
The weather looks good enough for flip flops and shorts + Laura & I now have ponchos.

Friday night Laura and I will be staying in a caboose at https://redcaboosegetaway.com/
So we don't have to get up so early. If I can get Toby (JACk. in discord) to wake up, I'll make him come along.

Post by: RyRy on October 11, 2021, 06:24:53 AM: We got to the trail around 12:30, Since no one said they were coming we took our time in town.

This sign confused us, but I trusted alltrails

This tree was a little lower than I wanted it to be

I was hoping to use Laura as a scale for how big this old growth stump was but it still does it no Justice

The first sign was confusing us then we found

This new life was cool

Water out

Water in

The bridge Laura was on gave me vertigo crossing it ???

On the way back we spotted a few things we somehow missed along the way

Like nature's coat rack

and the huge patch of mushrooms

It started to rain on the way back and we found out the Rangers lock the bathrooms when they leave. So we couldn't change.
