The Olympic
Beach Cleanup was organized by our good friend Jan Klippert, and sponsored by the Washington Trails Association, the
Washington Alpine Club, the Mountaineers, and a bunch of others. Very sadly,
Jan passed away in January 2008. Now the Clean up is organized by Coastsavers. Like every year, we will do the Hoh Beach and points north as far as we can. Most years we do Jefferson Cove as well. There is a cache site at Jefferson Cove. We will carry as much as we can out to Oil City Trailhead. This is a great time to visit the coast, do a good deed, and meet some new folks. You can come for the day, or camp with us on Saturday night at Hoh Beach.. Forks is about three hours drive from Seattle. We take the Bainbridge Ferry over, but any of the ferry's will work. The drive on US 101 takes us over the Hood Canal Bridge and to Port Angeles. Rather than getting up so early and taking the first ferry from Seattle at 6:10 am, (double check the ferry times) some folks leave Friday after work and camp at Hungry Bear Campground. It's free, and they have a restaurant and small motel there as well. Doerte and I will come over on the first ferry. There are lots of hotel and B & B's in Forks. Lodging information in Forks is at www.forkswa.com or call 1-800-443-6757 There is a nice Thriftway on Forks if you need a latte or any last minute items. Be sure and stop at the NPS Visitor Center in Forks ( or Kalaloch if you are coming from the South) to sign the waiver and pick up some trash bags. Be sure to sign the Olympic Park forms. In the past they send us each a free pass to the Olympic National Park for the year!!! Driving South from Forks on 101, the turnoff on the Oil City Road will take us to the Oil City Trailhead. We'll plan to start the hike in from there at 9 am sharp! You can start early if you want. You can come for the day. We'll camp at Hoh Beach. If you are late just head for Hoh Beach, set up camp, and look around for folks gathering debris! Here we'll split the party and half will work the low tide over to Jefferson Beach.
