About this event
Tour chair note: This is the first time PNWR has headed back to the Olympic Peninsula for a multi-day tour in three years. In 2020, we were in the midst of Covid restrictions and this was one of the few tours we attempted. This time, the agenda is much more "group friendly" so I hope you will join the tour! Thanks to Eric and Sherry Breidenbach for the extensive planning and coordination to set all of this up for your enjoyment! READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW SO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND!!
NOTE THAT THIS TOUR STARTS OVER ON THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA in PORT GAMBLE, SO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO GET THERE BY THE SHOW TIME!!
