Brinnon! Super small town on the Peninsula. Not even really a town, it’s technically a census designated place lol.

I love Brinnon. We have camped at Dosewallips a few times. So many elk and they are so BIG!

It’s a beautiful spot! The type you can camp in the forest on a whim, but driving to the nearest Walmart or Safeway is a commitment haha. It has trade offs but I’m happy here

Yeah I’m having a little fomo but I’d still rather be here. ( Jefferson county)

Even more special then. They're Roosevelt elk, not the commonly found Rocky Mountain elk. You'll only find roosies west of I5

I see elk almost every time I head up the Dose. Love that area.

Hell yeah, there’s always something to do down the dose (Imma start saying that lol) or Duckabush! Hamma Hamma rd also, but that’s kinda more south
