Hood Canal Road-trip part 2 of 2: Lake Cushman, Hamma Hamma, Pleasant Harbor, Port Ludlow

ETC is back with part 2 of our mini Hood Canal (not really a canal, but, anyway) road-trip. Check part 1 for the map of our route, we continue with a little drive up to Lake Cushman. On the way to check out one of the Cushman dams we ran across this little gem (pic above), lake Standstill. Onward!

Lake Cushman

Lake Cushman is beautiful from afar...too bad it is winter and access to the lake is blocked off (from what we could find). We hit the gravel roads back to town.

Hamma Hamma

You say Hamma I say Hama...you say corny, I say...hey, wait just a minute - to clarify - the river here coming out of the Olympics near Eldon is the Hamma Hamma and the oyster company established right on its banks in 1922 is called Hama Hama. They are still in business harvesting yummy oysters - we had some for lunch after exploring the grounds.

Pleasant Harbor

Pleasant indeed.  We may have to bring Kingsley here for a little R & R this summer...

Port Ludlow

I had sailed to Port Ludlow on the summer man-cruise but hadn't taken my wife there so I thought we'd stop by before we caught the Bainbridge Island ferry back to the city...mini-Hood Canal road-trip...done.
