Hood Canal, 61 miles long, 1 to 4 miles wide, a 600-foot deep body of calm SALT water, is actually a FJORD (one of only two in the lower 48 states) carved by glaciers about 15,000 years ago back when global warming was young. Thank you, global warming! The west side of Hood Canal is undeveloped along Highway 101. The little ‘burgs’ are simply wide spots in the road offering for the most part, a hamburger or maybe a coffee drink. We’re stopped in Hoodsport for 3 nights on our way to Port Townsend. Today, we’ll drive over to Belfair, located on the southern hook of Hood Canal and explore the Farmers Market and some antique shops recommended by our friends, Patt & JJ. We’re within 2 hours of home, just far enough to get away!
