Day 1- Beacon Rock, WA

                                                       Thursday 6/21/12
We made it out of OR today. Our first stop was Beacon Rock state park in southern WA. It is a wonderful spot with a steep hike. The path around Beacon Rock was built in the early 1900's and still stands up fairly well today. The man who made it bought the rock and surrounding land for a $1. We had a great time climbing and the view was incredible. The only disappointment was that the view at the top of the rock wasn't as good as it had been on the way up. Could have saved ourselves some steps there. On the upside it was a beautiful day and we got a photo of a brilliant blue bird who was hanging out at the top. We spent the evening in the park and Isaiah stumbled upon a bunny in the grass.  -A
