Day 4: Iron Creek - Olympic Peninsula

learning how to pace Dan measuring canopy cover Today will be mostly a driving day.  We spend an hour or so at Iron Creek practicing our forestry skills before we break down camp and drive out to the Olympic Peninsula.  After lunch we try to buy groceries in Aberdeen and end up in the Grocery Outlet, one of the more interesting stores in town.
Driving on to Kalaloch Beach we set up camp and head for the beach to climb beach logs and watch the sunset.
