Washington State Islands, July 2022
Forums:
Just did a fun tour of several Islands in WA state. My niece moved up there a few years ago, and now my sis has moved there since retiring. This was the first time my sis and I have hung out as just the two of us, and we had a blast!
The rental on Whidbey Island (with a hard working sis cameo);

Thanks, Noodler. It sounds
Thanks, Noodler. It sounds and looks like you had a really good time. I think I've only been on Bainbridge, but I may have forgotten trips of the past.
Wildlife, water, beauty, happy times. I love LOVE ferries, so thanks for those. The single light colored sea lion (seal?) is kind of creepy to me. Maybe like horror movie mask? Other than that, what a sweet trip!
The pear tree in my backyard is an Orcas, an old heritage type from the island. Really great flavor.

It wasn't all fun and family.
It wasn't all fun and family. I did have a large man with a large gun shoot directly at me on the interstate, then shot at and carnapped the guy next to me, but that's a story for another time....

Been a curious summer, in that my first mining trip to N Cal, most of the places we visited have been destroyed by the McKinney fire (very sad), let alone getting shot at on the WA trip, though better me than some sensitive family (not the first time i've had a gun pulled on me, but the first time one's been discharged at me / vs a warning shot)
