Day 2, October 18th, First blog entry

Ok, finally we are on day two and after cleaning up our mess, it's time to leave the beautiful place on Hood Canal. We didn't get to do as much cleaning as we wanted because the power was out due to a downed tree on the power line.

My Mom was commenting on what a feat it must have been to build on a place like that and I'm sure it took some clever engineering. The site probably had to be built up and leveled to make a good spot for the house. This picture shows the driveway into the lot. It comes off of a frontage road which runs parallel to the highway. When no one is here there is a gate and a cable at the road to keep out unwanted visitors.

Here is the back of the house and you can see that it is a big lot. I didn't ask the size but there is plenty of room for parking outside the two car garage.

The edge of the lot is delineated by these huge boulders. I'm assuming they were brought in here and arranged to make this attractive wall border.

Just one of many colorful trees in the area. I think this must be the same type of tree we were seeing across the bay.
