Got in a nice day trip over to Whidbey Island, it's 55 miles long and only about an hour away and a favorite destination most anytime of year.
At about the halfway point on the West side is a spot named Ebey's Landing.
It was the first non native establishment and thrived at the time.
The only indication of it's former life is a huge old abandoned road house that put up travelers back in the 1850's.
It's now a National Historical Reserve with a fantastic loop trail that climbs the bluff for nice views out towards the Peninsula and then descends to the beach- best timed for at low tide for plenty-O-beach. That day had a small minus tide, just right!
Weather was supposed to clear but the marine layer was persistent until we were on our way home. Nice respite from the blazing 80 degree weather we have been enjoying.

Hiking, biking, traveling and all round good sport/companion
