More on the Olympic Peninsula trip

Here we are standing on the little deck built by the Makah Tribe overlooking the Northwestern most point in the contiguous United States. To Ann's right is the Pacific Ocean. To my left is the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the entrance to Puget Sound. Behind us is Tatoosh island - a section of land the broke off of where we were standing a long time ago. There is a sign that makes mention of the numerous caves carved into the limestone below where we were standing and about how when the waves crash into them you can feel the ground move. Sure enough we felt this phenomenon and felt a little uneasy too.
 Here is the view a few feet to Ann's right looking over the railing. This was well worth the trip to see.
