Foggy Beaches

 Our second morning on Hobuck beach we woke to hazy skies and a fog covered beach. Our plan for the day was to travel independently and meet Jennifer and Eric at the next point of interest, Ruby Beach. We left before them and drove to Forks where we gassed up and stopped at a grocery store. There was a coffee shop near the grocery so we grabbed coffee and pastries and ate them in the parking lot. As we were leaving we saw Jennifer and Eric pull into a laundry where they planned to do some washing. We told them we’d continue to Ruby Beach and wait for them there.

It had been sunny and warm in Forks but Ruby Beach had the same fog cover and cool temperatures that we woke to in Hobuck. You could see the shore, but could barely make out the geological features the beach is known for. We hoped it would clear but was still foggy when Jennifer and Eric arrived. We might have seen more if we hiked down to the beach but it was late afternoon and we needed to get to our next campsite to nab a couple of first come first serve campsites before dark, so we left Ruby and headed to Kalaloch beach campground. Kalaloch also was fog draped but even so, all the prime beach view sites were taken when we arrived. However there were still many other sites to choose. We set up next to each other and shared dinner and a bottle of wine next to the campfire.
