Lake Crescent Lodge

We are going here pretty soon; I'm feeling happy about it.

Lake Crescent Lodge on Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula.  Beautiful lake.  Lodge dates to 1916 and it has the 'times gone by' feel to it.  A time where people came to the wilderness and slowed down and hung out at the lodge.  Big fireplace.  Lots of rocking chairs.  People chatting.  Nice (but awfully expensive) restaurant.  We went last summer and stayed in one of the upstairs rooms facing the lake.  Shared bathrooms, who cared!  So rustic.  I loved going up the stair case in the middle of the lodge to go to our room.  Not a big place.

I want to go up to Sol Duc amd go to the mineral baths.  Doctor's orders!  Maybe go all the way to Neah Bay.  Maybe not.

I chose this picture from their website.  Kind of at dusk.  Fall just hit here yesterday, that chill.  People welcomed it; we didn't have any rain this summer.

Yes, we will drop a fortune at the restaurant.  I'm looking for some alternatives; not too many.  No travel anxiety, so that's good.
