Deception Pass, Washington State

16 Jul 2013               Deception Pass State Park, Washington

            The next morning, we took the ferry back to Anacortes, and headed south on Whidbey Island.  We stayed in a wonderful campsite at Deception Pass State Park.  Austin was with us for 2 nights.  It was a great place to be.  Giant trees and crazy airplanes above.  

Here's a shot of our wonderful campsite.  Austin had the tent, while we slept in the bug/rain shelter next to the truck.  It was all good once the planes stopped.

          The Navy has a testing base south of the campsite and the planes above gave a wonderful show.  At night on the beach, one F-18 even screamed overhead with full afterburner.  By 9pm or so, they chilled out.  Now, sleep was possible. 

Right from our camp, we took a trail to the beach, and then along the coast to the giant bridge.  Katherine and I left Austin for a bit and did a little trail run along the coast.  It was amazing!

We followed the trail along the right up to the bridge. Nice!  The current was tremendous through the pass. And still, boats were blasting through it.  Way to go!

How 'bout a little "breakfast for dinner" in the Dutch oven?  Yummy!
