We found our mail had arrived (first time that we use our mail forwarding service), so Joani made some quick reservations in Forks, WA, and we were off. It was a pretty short drive to Forks - 58.9 miles (3,919.4 trip/63,400.5 total) along US-101. Once we were settled in we drove about 30 miles to the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center. We practically ran through the Hall of Mosses (0.8-mile loop trail) to finish before it was too dark. It was not late - the forest was just so thick it filtered the light!
Branches look as if they are covered in green velvet.
Next tree pictures show trees growing on a nurse log.
All that you see is submerged in a clear stream.

The sun was getting low. Time to call it a day!
What a beautiful path!
