    • Thanks Abby… I am still amazed at how big and diverse the park was. I could not tell you which was my favorite… rainforest,beach,mountains. I found I could relax and create in each area.

  7. Great Mike! My favorites are the driftwood and photo of you with trees. Great timing — these give me some idea of what to expect.

  8. So glad I came across this. Olympic is a park I have heard about and very much want to visit as soon as I can! For some reason I especially want to see those starfish. An amazing place you really don’t hear too much about!

    As great as Part 1. Must have been great to see it all live. We see so many images of a wonderful place, but then to be there is heaven.
