Dungeness Spit

Today -- after watching another disappointing Mariners game -- we went north to visit Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge. Dungeness Spit is one of the world's longest natural sand spits. There is a trail through the woods about 3/8 of a mile long that leads to an overlook on the bluff above the spit. We took the trail that far, but didn't go on down the rather steep bill that leads to the beach. From there it is a five mile (one-way) trip out to the lighthouse.
