Much of the trail looked like this. Under the skunk cabbage leaves would be old hand split cedar boards. Nice and slippery. I probably fell about 10 times.

One of the highlights was stopping and looking up. Huge twisted spruce and cedars, probably still there because the ocean winds had reduced their value as lumber.

Here is one of the bridges across a rivulet. This is probably the best one. Others were a single log or completely broken down. Some of the drops were 10-12 feet, but you couldn't see that because of the brush. The Ranger that I spoke with said the last time she was on this trail was to medevac a hiker with a broken leg resulting from a bridge collapsing. Fun.

I searched around and found this camping area. The abandoned trail head is between the two trees to the left of the fire ring. Little did I know that this was as obvious as the trail got.

At the head of Allen Bay is Allen Slough. I poled in to this bare spot and threw out my bear can containing all of my food. The Ranger said it keeps critters from going aboard while I'm gone.

The elusive pygmy grizzly bear. There was a tail slapping feud going on (maybe because of my presence). After I went to bed, the concussive sound through the hull was more disturbing than the slap.

I had enough rode out to drift into the lily pads. Not a problem. In fact the fishing was better and I made ceviche for dinner.

I anchored in Swan Bay, which is the other boat launch on the lake, but nobody was there.

An evening wind started to blow up some white caps and mare's tails appeared. There was 18" chop in some areas.

The start of the Ozette River drainage to the Pacific and a few more little pilings.

This is the launch by the Ozette Ranger Station. I had heard that it was shallow and didn't have a dock, but that has changed.
