Olympic National Park, WA (Mora)

We spent the afternoon hiking on Rialto Beach (Mora). The "beach" is not like we would see on the east coast, its covered with lots of rounded rocks and not lots of sand. But what is there is course and dark in color. And lots of driftwood...
How can they call these tree's driftwood? You can barely see Debbie sitting on the log in front. The tree is probably 6 feet thick or more! The signs say stay out of the surf when rough the driftwood can be dangerous.... Ya think?? 6 foot thick logs bouncing around in the surf?
What amazes me about the beaches here is that they are full of logs that have washed up. Being a boater, I can't imagine hitting one of these things floating just under the surface!
Looking out to the Pacific
Lots of Sea Stacks here. Another thing we never see on the Carolina coast.
