We recently completed a tour of the Washington Olympic Peninsula. We drove from Vancouver up to Port Angeles, across the Northwest tip of the state, and ended at Rialto Beach. Our main motivation for the trip was to see some of the Olympic National Park. Along the way we happened to pass through a few towns that have recently been made famous by a certain vampire based FICTION novel. Because I did not want the beauty of the national park mixed up with these rogue pictures I wanted to throw them up before Sidnee got to the main post. So for all you Twilight fans out there, yes there actually is a little town in NW Washington called Forks, no there are no actual vampires there, and yes everyone in that town is milking it for all it's worth. We even stopped at a hamburger joint for some dinner and they were hocking a Bella Burger T-shirt. Can you say LAME?
Even the City Chamber of Commerce was getting in on the act with Bella's truck parked in front of the city offices building. I think the truck was suffering from a Valentine's Day hangover.
A wrong turn took us to LaPush and a warm welcome from Jacob's tribe.

I want to go there sometime! Olympic National Park, as well as Forks/La Push.
Acadia went last year with her cousins and swears she didn't see any vampires while she was there. But Bishop was there about a month ago and says there's a parking place for Dr. Cullen at the hospital. lol
Yah right it wasnt a pilgrimage! I'm trying to talk my sister into making that same trip with me. :)
As lame as you may think it is, my sister and I would have been in Heaven!! ha ha She is more obsessed than me but we are slightly big fans. ha ha
You guys are silly! That is all I have to say about that! Go Team Edward! WHATEVER!
"Rogue pictures"? Fiction? DAN!
These are some sweet pictures. I want to see you in your Bella Burger T-shirt ;)
I went to Forks/La Push years ago before the werewolves came back (you know, because the vampires did)
Bishop G was telling me and Bri how he went to Forks and La Push last month. I love that he's so into those books. That's a MANLY man, who can admit to that.
I always have to wonder why Bella's truck is parked at the city offices. Is she in jail... or just visiting?
