The Sunday before the conference was designated for side trips. I chose to go on a trip to the Olympic National Park, which is about 30 minutes drive from Port Angeles. Our guide, Willie Nelson (not the Willie Nelson but looked like him), was a real character who knew all about the natural history of the Olympic Peninsular. This made the outing informative and entertaining. The trip was split into two parts; a morning visit to Lake Crescent and the nearby primeval forest, and an afternoon trip to Hurricane Ridge. The views of the Olympic Mountains from the ridge were quite spectacular. The coach rides were a useful opportunity to get to meet some of the other delegates, and I made several useful contacts.

So what's the collective noun for a group of cosmologists? A quantum? A big bang? A Hubble?
