点评:Flattery will Get You... Well, Somewhere! We loved all of the green in Olympic National Forest - the verdant, salubrious, oxygen-providing, moss-covered, wind-blocking trees were the stars of the show. This park covers a large area, and on one of the days, we opted to drive as far northwest as we could. Like, as far northwest as anyone could.
It is said that flattery will get you everywhere. Well... Cape Flattery will get you to the northwesternmost point in the lower 48 states. You see, we get restless and like to wander to places that might be good trivia fodder someday. Cape Flattery fit the bill. We saw Canada in the distance, but otherwise, we didn't see much at Cape Flattery. No whales. An unremarkable lighthouse. Overcast, gray skies. But, no matter. Come for the moss-covered trees, and stay for the fun boardwalk-style walking paths. Other tourists had found their way here as well - maybe fifty people or so - not many, really. This was a driving excursion well worth our time and the $20 permit, and I am glad we took ourselves on a detour here.
翻译:奉承能让你……嗯,到达某个地方!我们爱极了奥林匹克国家森林公园里郁郁葱葱的绿色——那些枝繁叶茂、令人心旷神怡、提供氧气、苔藓覆盖、挡风的树木,才是这里的主角。这个公园面积广阔,有一天,我们决定开车一路向西北方向行驶,尽可能地往西北方向走。真的,尽可能地往西北方向走。
人们常说奉承能让你去任何地方。嗯……弗拉特里角能带你到达美国本土48州的最西北端。你知道,我们闲不住,喜欢去一些以后可能会成为有趣冷知识的地方。弗拉特里角正合我们心意。我们远远地看到了加拿大,但除此之外,我们在弗拉特里角没看到什么。没有鲸鱼。一座毫不起眼的灯塔。阴沉沉的天空。不过,这都无所谓。来这里欣赏苔藓覆盖的树木,然后漫步在趣味十足的木栈道上,你会流连忘返。还有其他游客也来到了这里——大概五十来人吧——其实不多。这次自驾游非常值得,20美元的许可证也物有所值,我很高兴我们绕道来这里游览。
