What A Winter We’re Having In The Quinault River Valley

February 11th, 2008

Zeus had thrown every kind of weather imaginable at us this winter! Hurricane force winds in excess of 80 miles per hour knocked out electricity to all of Grays Harbor County as thousands of trees were downed. We had heavy rains that caused flooding, days and days of snow, and a week of the most gorgeous crystal clear sunny days and starry nights imaginable in January. The North Shore has been without electricity a dozen times and was the last area to have power turned back on in the county after the big storm in December. Fortunately we suffered little damage and our guests have had some memorable adventures. Thank goodness for propane heat and hot water, wood burning fireplace inserts, and lanterns. There have been lots of woodland creatures to see as the snow has pushed them to lower elevations.

Steve has been fishing (a lot!) and has good fish stories.

Days are getting longer and the end of winter may be in site.

It’s a beautiful and ever changing time of year in the rain forest and at the ocean beaches. Come visit us. Check your calendar, pick your favorite cabin, and call or email Steve. We look forward to seeing you soon!
