OREGON: day five (washington)

Well.... after taking over driving duties somewhere in the HOH rainfores at about 3 in the morning cuz jesse was about to pass out... we continued our "springbreak/summer skate tour" towards Port angeles... everyone in the back was either wasted... or getting wasted off brass monkeys and PBRs while i was trying to stay awake... with the help of the whole trips theme song "fear of the dark" by maiden.. finally... after having high hopes of a dennys or all night diner in Forks and there not being one... everyone passed out i drank a double shot super coffee thing and tried to push on to P.A.. I found myself pulling over at cressent lake which is in the Olyimpic National Park or forest or something... its beautiful up there... so i had to stop.. and crashing out in a national park is alot better then crashing out in a dennys parking lot or skatepark parking lot in P.A... so i stumbled over to the lake.. snapped a few photos.. talked to joel about college... and then passed out...

Mother (the name given to the van on this trip.. the inside is named "the womb")

Woke up at around 9 am and drove the final 20 miles into P.A and found a perfect dry empty skatepark... this being national "go skateboard day" i skated.. ive always wanted to skate the park there but its usually to busy or im to busy shooting photos... so it felt good to actually skate around for once... to bad everyone was exausted from the trip so there really wasnt any good reason to shoot photos... after skating for an hourish... yeah thats right we drove 5 hours out of our way to skate for an hour and not even shoot any photos... but hey... thats what road trips are for right? nothing beats spontanious decisions... ... so we headed to the ferry... stopped in kingston and found some of the manic crew there skating so we skated there for a while and realized why washington rocks... the vibe is so much better up here... after skating there for about another hour we go get in line for the ferry... which felt good... it was probably the first time on the trip that we felt at home... after getting off the ferry... we decided to make one more stop... MARGINAL... which closed the loop so to speak of out road trip as we made one huge loop around western washington and northwestern oregon.. plus... marginal is truely the park of washington so it was only fair to end it there... anyway it was an epic trip... it had everything... good friends... good skating.. crazy events... awesome sights... and tons of crazy quotes most of which i dont want to repeat here... its been a really good summer so far and im looking for whats around the next corner...
