After breakfast, we took a drive up to Anacortes to catch the ferry over to Lopez Island. What a gorgeous day to be out on the water, enjoying the saltiness of air and the views all around. Lopez Island is the first stop the ferry makes when doing the inter-island loop. We headed out to Spencer Spit State Park and enjoyed our breezy walk out the spit to an old cabin.
After stretching out our legs we hopped the ferry over to Orcas Island. We were pleasantly surprised be the topographical relief of the place and made the tip top of the island our destination. We were greeted with a view to write home about and an amazing piece of CCC history.
Team Keller does it again
The campgrounds looked pretty booked up, but Andy managed to spit a little site next to the campground host that was more than we could hope for without a reservation. We enjoyed solitude, old growth, a private creek, left over fire wood, the closeness to "real" bathrooms, and friendly wildlife of mule deer and bats. It's a site to keep in mind for future jaunts in that direction.
We "slept-in" for camping standards and enjoyed a lazy pack-up and breakfast before heading into town for some coffee and bakery treats.
Our next hop was over to San Juan Island, specifically Lime Kiln Point. This State Park is known for it's whale watching, Lighthouse, and views. We enjoyed all the above with the added bonus of a State Park stamp.
Heading home is always an adventure in itself
Mission accomplished a day early.
