The island holds a Navy ammunition station with a tall crane that’s one of the county’s tallest structure. To the west, Chimacum is known chiefly for its dairy farms, spreading across Chimacum Valley. Nearby is Port Ludlow, which boasts the Northwest’s top-rated championship golf course and the world-class Resort at Port Ludlow. To the south, Shine and Coyle offer virtually unspoiled views of Hood Canal, the giant fjord that provides the eastern coast of the Olympic Peninsula. To the west, Discovery Bay and Gar- diner offer small-town charm amid scenic landscape over a huge bay that once hosted the explorer Capt. George Vancouver (who named it after his ship, HMS Discovery). The Emerald Towns Traveling south, visitors reach Quilcene, famed for its oyster production, with beds visible along Hood Canal. The Quilcene National Fish Hatch- ery is two miles south of town on U.S. Highway 101. Many hiking trails wind through areas of Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park. Quilcene Ranger Station on U.S. 101 has maps and trail information. Mount Walker, the easternmost summit of the Olympic Mountains, offers one of the most fantastic views of Puget Sound. Mount Walker Viewpoint Road is five miles south of Quilcene on Walker Pass, at an elevation of 727 feet. Depending on weather conditions, visitors can drive a steep and winding road to the twin viewpoints or park at the base for a two-mile hike. Further south is Brinnon, another community known for its shellfish.

Everything from heavy, world-class salmon to small, fun-to-fight alpine brook trout can be caught with a rod and reel on the North Olympic Penin- sula. Rivers also swarm with steelhead and sea-run cutthroat trout. Salmon can be taken in both the Strait of Juan de Fuca — that strip of sea bracketed by the Olympic Penin- sula and Vancouver Island — or numerous local streams. On the rivers, an autumn day can produce four to six salmon and a couple of hatchery steelhead. It all depends on when and where you fish.

The Port Townsend Rhododendron Festival on May 14-20 will start with arts and crafts fairs and end with a Grand Parade and a running event. It’s a time when rhododendrons are in bloom, and Port Townsend “wakes up” to celebrate the arrival of spring in the Key City. Log onto www.ptguide.com/rhodyfest in late fall or early winter to learn more about the 2007 event.

A mastodon in Sequim? Yes, there really is one — at least, the bones of a creature, one of the more interesting exhibits from a 1975 discovery. Visitors to the Museum and Arts Center love the idea of a wooly mam- moth having once roamed the valley. During excavation on the Manis family farm near Sequim, bone and tusk artifacts were found. The resulting research determined the remains could be traced to that of a mastodon, which roamed the North Olympic Peninsula nearly 12,000 years ago. Photographs of the excavation and a scale model of the site are also on display. Upon request, a video explaining the mastodon discovery can also be viewed.

They’ve also been seen on the drive between Indian and Marrowstone islands southeast of Port Townsend. Other wild animals on the Peninsula include cougars. The number of reported sightings has gone up in recent years, but don’t be alarmed. Only one attack has been reported in decades. Park rangers conclude the number of sightings has a lot to do with the increasing number of visitors to the area who happen upon the big cats. While cougars can kill, they are shy and typically pose no danger unless provoked. Peninsula park and forest rangers suggest that those who come across cougars should stand their ground and make a lot of noise, which usually scares them away. Regardless of the cougar threat, the area has its share of small furry creatures that are as harmless as housecats. Olympic marmots, which are similar to the woodchuck and indigenous to the Olympics, have burrows in higher- elevation meadows.

Marine life Although the area attracts a lot of people interested in fishing for trout, salmon, crabs and clams, visitors don’t need a pole to catch a glimpse of undersea life. While riding on ferries, keep an eye out for porpoises, which seem to enjoy frolicking in the wakes of ferries. Harbor seals, too, may be seen near ferry docks, harbors and other coastal areas. Many have been reported around Ediz Hook and the Dungeness Spit in the Port Angeles and Sequim areas, respectively. 6A277425 ■ Continued on next page Scuba Supplies ritebros.com Mike Kesl Certified Instructor 457-3190 120 East Front St., Port Angeles • Charter Flights – NW, U.S. & Canada We offer a wide range of • Flight lessons • Scenic flights Scuba classes to fit your • Gift Certificates schedule and skill level 6A274114 Experienced Instructor Fairchild Int’l Airport 6A274837 Everything You Need!

Salt Creek County Recreation Area — one of the more popular beach areas, is the home of the Tongue Point Marine Life Sanctuary. Situated 14 miles west of Port Ange- les off state Highway 112, it is one of the prettiest places on the Strait and home to a rocky outcropping that at low tide reveals starfish, sea urchins, limpets, sea cucumbers and many other forms of marine life. The park is open year round and is also a favorite campsite, with picnic tables, shelter, play area, horseshoe courts, hiking trails and a dumping station. Other popular activities include beachcombing, fishing and marine life study. The sanctuary designation means wildlife and its evidence, even shells, must be left undisturbed for others to enjoy. An interesting aspect of the park is its history. In 1940, Salt Creek rumbled with the activity of gunners preparing for battle. Soldiers were beefing up coastal The tide pools at Salt Creek County Recreation Area, about 17 miles defenses on the Strait of Juan de Fuca west of Port Angeles, provide year-round fun. as World War II loomed. The 518-acre Camp Hayden, named after the former commanding officer of Puget Sound Harbor Defenses Gen. John L. Hayden, concealed heavily cam- ouflaged, bombproofed gun batteries. One six-inch installation was 2,000 feet up on Striped Peak. Another 16- inch battery was near Tongue Point. Housed in steel-shielded concrete, the bunkers protecting the guns were designed to take a direct hit. The monster guns were 45 feet long and five feet thick at the breach, taper- ing to 16 inches in diameter at the point. • Beautiful Eclectic Gifts The turntable on which the guns and loading mechanisms revolved was large • Holistic Beauty Care enough to turn a small locomotive.

Makah museum In Neah Bay, be sure and visit the Makah Cultural and Research Center, to the left as you enter town. The prize of the center is the Ozette collection, the largest archaeological collection of any U.S. tribe. The artifacts come from a 500-year- old Makah village located eight miles south of the Makah Reservation. The site was preserved by a mudslide and uncovered in 1970. Other items on display include artifacts from the archaeological dig at the Hoko River, west of Sekiu. The dig revealed a fishing camp nearly 3,000 years old and a rock shelter about 1,000 years old.

What started as a sweet pea and a single rose has blossomed into Butchart Gardens, a 55-acre cascade of color that overwhelms the senses a few miles north of Victoria. More than 1,000 varieties of flowers can be smelled, touched and ogled during a walk through the world-class gardens, which can take several hours. The former cement factory and quarry site at Tod Inlet can be reached by taking the ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria, then traveling 12 miles north by bus or car. Transit and tour buses are found just north of the Victoria ferry landing. The gardens attract more than bees and other flower fanciers. Butchart is really a series of gardens, each with a distinct flair. Jennie Butchart, the cement factory owner’s wife, and herself an artist and certified chemist, began planting her gardens in 1904 when the quarry was still in operation.

The change of seasons on the northwest Washington coast line is subtle. The grasses are now becoming golden and the color of the greenery softens. The vine maples are gloriously red. The alder leaves begin to brown. The forests are now becoming daily a mosaic of color change. Fall is a transition period, a time of contemplation, another reason for the weekend hiker to wander the beaches. The nature photographer is provided another opportunity to capture the still blooming flowers, the ballet of changing vegetative colors in her or his jour - ney to the most northwest corner of the continental United States at Neah Bay and Cape Flattery.

The migration of the salmon is now the angler’s reward. In later months the steelhead will be abundant in the streams such as the Sooes River. The Japanese current moderates the change in water temperatures of the Pacific Ocean off Cape Flattery. Bird and whale migra - tions, the hunting antics of the Orcas, are center-stage in the natural theatre that presents itself to the visitor to Neah Bay.

The visitor is reminded, as rain squalls march rapidly across the many of shades of gray of sky and water, that the greenery, the rushing of streams and rivers, the building snow pack in the neighboring Olympic Mountains, are now the centerpiece of nature’s forces.
