Whidbey Island WA - Deception Pass State Park

Early on Sunday morning, we set out to catch the Port Townsend ferry to Coupeville on Whidbey Island. This time, we are taking the Beast across.



It was a little bit surprising at the number of other RV's doing the same thing.

We have a short drive up to the northernmost point of Whidbey Island, which is Deception Pass state park. We are staying here just a single night before finally escaping across the border to Canada. At the north end of Whidbey island is the Deception Pass Bridge, which crosses the Deception Pass waterway. This in turn gets us back on the mainland of Washington, (and thankfully) north of the crazy Seattle traffic, just south of Bellingham. This also puts us almost within shouting distance of Canada.

Off in the distance to the left side is Victoria Island Canada

All in all, Deception Pass state park was a nice park with lots of areas to explore. The only downside was on the morning we left some navy jets starting flying exercises from the nearby Whidbey Island Naval Air station.

You might have to work hard to find the jet in the picture, but you couldn't have a conversation as they turned and headed back to base.

Has anybody else noticed the recurring themes of planes and trains in our blog... or is it just us??
