So, Susan and I finished off November with a few days of RV camping. I may have said this before, but when we bought our RV we were givin a free year membership in Thousand Trails Campgrounds. We stayed at this one near La Conner and had a great site. I asked Susan what body of water we were on. She said “The Salish Sea”.
At the bottom left you will see ‘Lone Tree Point’. Our campsite was just to the right of that and we were camped right at the water.
On our first day there we walked around the campground and beach area.
Sun was setting as we passed this little nook.
A nice stroll out to the spit ended our evening activity.
The following day we gathered our cold weather wear and readied our bikes for a ride into town. Our campsite on the water offered us perfect views.
Earlier I posted the Great Pannier Story from some of our time in town. After the basket purchase we strolled around town, had lunch and enjoyed the sights. We came upon ‘Dirty Biter Park’.
Along our bike route to and from town we could not resist this sign by the church. Wonder if it is intended for anyone in particular.
Then there was this creative art with a log.
Back at camp we prepared our light dinner (had eaten a lot at lunch in town!) and enjoyed the sunset from our window in the warmth of our RV.
Our friend Shirley had recommended that we not miss the hike at KukuTali Preserve, so on our next day we did a little hike and bike outing. We locked up our bikes at the provided bike rack and became hikers.
Susan was sure to google and check the tide charts once we got to this sign. Otherwise we would be stranded on the island.
A beautiful area and a great hike.
The Swinomish People thrived here and were — of course — forced out of their land. Some of the story is in the photo.
Lots of driftwood along the shore. Being Native American land, it is forbidden to take anything from here as mementos. Walking it, looking at it and enjoying the environment is plenty. Susan has gone a little ‘nuts’ with the selfie stick she never wanted to have! It’s my fault as I found a cheap one in one of the shops we visited. You will see more selfies now.
With such gorgeous weather, peaceful times and fun activities it was a little difficult to leave for home the following day.
I did say there would be more selfies ;’-0. Looking directly into the sun offers a challenge!
Let’s try it the other way, plus get a shot of the RV as well...
Had to catch this log shot as we were leaving...
I have posted about Thanksgiving, but once again... Happy Thanksgiving to All. We, and 100 others campers, were guests of Thousand Trails for Thanksgiving dinner.
