A couple of days ago we went over onto the mainland to a little town called La Conner literally across the Skagit River bridge from our island to the east. It’s a small quaint touristy place with many shops and restaurants right on the river. And it is about 5 miles from Burlington where we were for the first couple of nights at the RV dealership. For that trip, even though I took a bunch of pictures of our exploration to include Oak Harbor, La Conner, and most recently Anacortes which is at the north tip of the Whidbey/Fidalgo island combo and where we took the ferry to Victoria a couple of years ago, none came out because my batteries were low ... mine or the camera's ... senior moment for one of us. I'll just have to go back and redo the pix ... no problem. On the south end of the island there is no bridge, but there is the ferry to the Seattle area.

Here's a shot of the Flying Scotsman in its current home. This is a first class park with paved roads, really nice hookups, good laundry facility, and a good clear south exposure for the sat TV. There's probably 150 sites here and it is designed particularly for the larger RVs whether that's motorhomes or trailers. I'd say the park is about a third full at any given time as we are now in the off season. It was about 55 today and the sun came through.
