Greetings from Port Angeles, Washington
The Latest News
In mid-January we got back from nearly four months of travel. There have been numerous updates and posts on Facebook and Instagram for all our travel tours, but I know many of you rely on my newsletters. My newsletter program had a bad glitch and stopped working last November and now after two months, the problem has been solved and I will be sending out newsletters on a regularly basis again. If you are not interested, please unsubscribe at the bottom of the page. Otherwise, I will keep you posted on all the latest tours and travels in Olympic National Park and around the world. Happy Travels!

First Topic: Snow...and more snow
In Port Angeles, the average winter snowfall is about 4 - inches in the downtown area, which is just above sea level. At the marina, where Ed and I live, because we are literally on the water, it rarely snows. Over the last week we have had about 15 -inches of accumulation at the marina and in town there has been 2 - 3 feet and up at the edges of town some people have 5 - feet, no joking, and it is still snowing. You will also be surprised to know that we have Anna's Hummingbirds here year round, including the winter. The photos are of an area which got 5 - feet. Ed has been feeding the birds and he has many new feathered friends surviving this snow storm, which might last another week. We are wondering what kind of snow totals are up on Mount Olympus at 6 - 8 thousand feet?
It is a great time to visit Olympic for Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. We should have good snow for a few months. Winter is also one of the best times for birding. Give us a call.
Second Topic: New Website
Check it out!
I have upgraded and improved the technology behind my website; all sorts of new stuff. The new website makes it easier for navigating on a cell phone and travels faster! I have added many new pages and it will be a work a progress for a few months to come.
