The Road Less Traveled can be an elusive find, at least if asphalt is a
prerequisite. So it’s time to get off your meditation cushion and onto the
Corbin when you find a highway posting these kind of TIRES numbers with
virtually no traffic. Turning off at one lonely intersection of Hwy 101 and
reconnecting at another, this parallel route’s main reason for being is to
provide access to that spiritual retreat otherwise known as the Olympic
Correctional Center. With open straights and long, gentle curves at the
northern end providing fine views of the mountains and ridges of Olympic
National Park and tight twisties dominating the thickly treed south, this
quiet road strikes a harmonious balance. While we can’t guarantee you’ll
discover your inner self here, you shouldn’t discover many discordant speed
tax collectors, since this road is under the care of the mellow National
Forest Service. Everyone breathe together now: Intake. Exhaust. Intake.
Exhaust.
"This
is a nice alternative to the normal routing up the peninsula. Adjacent to
the correctional facilities, take a close look at the mile marker signs.
They are marked in 1/2 mile increments so they can more closely note where
the prisoners take off into the brush. Conversation with a local a week
ago indicated that the escapees tend to stay on the trails after they
leave the highway so they are easy to find!" --Tim Bowman
