Forks Rain Fest was 20 to 22 April. I went on Saturday only. Arrived about 1100hrs at the River Float tent. Rain off/on once past the Sul Duc hot springs turn off. Shortly after parking in Thriftway lot the rain became small hail stones. Didn't last long. The next shuttle was at 1130hrs and they were looking for a single person to complete the boats. Wonderful. Shuttle took five of us to the Sul Duc landing off of the Quileute airport road. Two guides waiting for us, two in one boat and three in the other. I went with a couple from Sequim. Wonderful almost two hour float trip to landing close to Three Rivers resort. Peaceful, quiet except for our conversations and guide talking about fishing and scenery. Sky cleared up and no more rain. Still partly cloudy. There were some rapids. Glad I had on rain pants to stay dry. Only took my driver's license and water proof camera. River a little faster than planned, so rather than wait 30 minutes for shuttle, one of guides drove us back to Thrifway. Decided to skip the free root beer float.
Visited the VIC where Sherri was working today. Picked up the old map of Twilight Forks and Twilight Tours with signed bookplate. Then to quilt show. Amazing work. Hands on art craft stuff for kids mostly at the RAC, plus a few hand craft to buy. Some small hand painted stary scapes that I wasn't interested in enough to pay the asking price. Then step into the Collection. Met Gay and Mindy. Chatted a little before close at 1600hrs. Off to Blakelees for dinner with Sherri and Gay joined us. They had gluten free bread so got a hamburger. It was good. Great time, good food and conversation. Then home. Kept to speed limit.
