Olympia Camping

So, who knew there was free camping outside of Olympia in the Capitol State Forest? Not me. You just need your Discover Pass, and you can stay there up to 7 nights per year free. Jessie and I checked it out last weekend, and I will definitely bring Starla there next year. Great, horse trails, well maintained. Nothing of huge interest (there is a creek, and little water fall), but pretty and lots of it. We hiked about 8 miles or so (hike 18), and we didn't even need to drive to a trail head.


Walking the pretty trail we saw fall is definitely here.




Our snazzy campfire dessert- crescent rolls made on sticks over the fire, filled with pudding, drizzled with chocolate and pomegranate seeds. Yum!

Mima Mounds- a mysterious piece of geography just outside of the forest- miles of perfect mounds caused by an as yet undetermined natural phenomenon.
