La Push, Washington

La Push was incredible, even if you're not a Twilight Fan.  The pictures we took don't really give you feel for the place though.  It was very foggy and cool, kinda mysterious in a peaceful way.  Our campground was located right on the Quileute Tribe reservation.  Of course this was an area that was all about "Team Jacob" (Twilight).  The Quileute Tribe is only 2nd to the Makah Tribe for whaling, and the top tribe for seal hunting.  The ocean-faring canoes are like no other because of their ocean sea-worthiness.  The Quileute Tribe has been recorded to exist since the Ice Age.  Their language is the only known language to be unrelated to any root language.  As the legend goes, they believe that their people came from wolves and this legend is still passed on today at the Quileute Tribal School.

Our campsite right on the Pacific Ocean

The size of the drift wood was unlike anything I've ever seen.
They played for about six hours straight on the beach (air temp was 62 degrees).
