Trip to the Port Townsend Ferry (6/29)

Sunday the KOA is having a pancake breakfast or you can get biscuits and gravy.  We both got the pancakes, they were very good.  They came with sausage, coffee, juice or milk, all for $4.  Breakfast is out of the way now what to do? It is still cloudy but at least it is not raining.
We needed to check out the Port Townsend Ferry as we will be taking it on July 28th.  It is a really nice drive up through Anacortes then down to Coupeville.  We were able to get the fairs and confirm that we could take our fifth wheel on the ferry.  In another week we will be in the Ho Rain Forest in the Olympics.  From there we will be going to Canada.  Instead of taking the very long way around we will put the fifth wheel and us on the Port Townsend Ferry and cross to Coupeville.  This will cut about 100 miles off our day.  From there we get on the 5 all the way to Canada.  We got our reservations and are ready to go.

On the way back from Coupeville we stopped at Deception Pass Park.  It is a really nice park, with camping hiking and picnicking.  It is right on a small bay, with several islands.  Most of the towns on this stretch of road are islands, they have water on both sides.  We took a nice walk on the beach over to the east shore then took the trail trough the woods back to north shore.  It was sunny with blue skies here so it was glorious.  It felt good to get out and stretch our legs.  The bridge from Deception Pass to the next island is quite interesting.  It goes across to a small island in the middle, then again across to the next island.











 Driving back to Burlington you can see clouds building again, but by the time we got to the KOA the sun was out.  We went for a walk in the woods behind the KOA.  Slugs everywhere and they are big and slimy. There were trails everywhere but leading to no where.  It was a nice walk anyway. This was our first opportunity to walk around the KOA and check out the other campsites.  We are in the best place, all the other areas have big groups that were loud and liked to party.  Back at the fifth wheel we tried to get a campfire going but no luck.  We didn't have any small wood and the ground was to wet, we couldn't get it started so we went in to watch a movie.
