The weather was perfect, so on the spur of the moment, we decided to head to Sequim, WA for our TREK and TRAK maiden voyage. We got a late start in the day and arrived at Diamond Point RV Park which is about 7 miles south of Sequim off HWY 101 about 3:30 PM. We got a great camp site for only $10 a night with full hook-ups. After getting settled, we jumped in TRAK and headed north to Sequim. We drove around Sequim and then out to Marine Drive which goes through the beautiful lavender fields and along Sequim Bay. It was a spectacular drive and we enjoyed traveling through the farm country. Before heading home, we decided to stop at the Seven Cedars Casino for their fantastic buffet and try our luck on the slot machines.

The next morning we headed to Sequim again. We went to the John Wayne Marina and hunted down a couple of caches. We then headed out to the Dungeness Spit that separates the Straits of Juan De Fuca and Sequim Bay. We ran into a lot of very successful people crabbing. They were able to get six crab per person and they were pretty good size. After spending some time at the spit, we headed along the bay to the “Three Crabs” restaurant just to see where it was located. We decided not to eat there because it was so terribly expensive. We headed back to Sequim because we wanted to visit the famous “Railroad Bridge” Park. Now, you can ride your bike from Diamond Point all the way to Port Angeles. Most of the trail is now paved. There are some very challenging hills along the way, but it certainly is a great opportunity to see some very beautiful country.

The last day we wondered around the lavender fields and spent time relaxing at many of the small parks along Sequim Bay. We finished up the evening having the Prime Rib buffet at the Seven Cedars casino for only $14.00 each. What a meal finished off with peach and banana Flambe. The weather could not have been any better and we certainly got to see why so many people decide to retire in this community. We love having TRAK as it provides a whole new dimension for us to see and enjoy the countryside.
