A quick weekend get away with Kevin! Saturday morning after his crossfit training we headed out to the Olympic Peninsula to camp for the night and explore the hotsprings!!
We didn't let the asshole park ranger rattle us too much and were hassled for not filling out the campsite paper work correctly.. it is a good thing Kevin is so calm and honest because I just wanted to say stfu. Again he hassled us about having the correct permits to enter national forrest (which we had) and argued with Kevin about NOAA corp not being "military" even though he gets full medical benefits.
We stopped for fire wood on the way in and didn't have the proper change but Kevin generously paid with a 20$ bill and left the change. All in all it was a great time. We enjoyed campfire food and my first camping trip of the new year! Not long after setting up camp a woman drove up to our site and had recognized Kevin's jeep, asked us if we had purchased fire wood? and exclaimed you left $20!! Here is your change. All faith in humanity restored. It was unbelievable that she drove down to the campsite out of her way to give him change. We totally lucked out with the weather.
Hot Springs might be the coolest thing I have ever experienced! A quick and easy hike out to a beautiful serene and secluded location. Everything was lush and green. The parking lot was packed and we ran into few people on the trail but we managed to easily find out own hot spring to bathe in and relaxed for a couple of hours while drinking some beer, clothing optional! As we approached you could smell the scent of sulfur in the air and we knew we were close.
While walking back to the car I saw that my rings were completely tarnished!! Who know! I had to google online and was glad to find out I could reverse it by polishing my silver with toothpaste. haha for future expeditions I will be sure to remove all silver.
