FORT EBEY STATE PARK - WHIDBEY ISLAND

#5 WITHIN OUR 100 MILE RADIUS

“Sea, Trees, and Pie Ride” is apparently an annual fund raising bike ride for the benefit of Whidbey-Camano Island Land Trust. I say apparently because this is the first year I am learning of the ride. As with everything else this year, the pandemic does not allow the ride to happen as it would. So, as with many other planned rides and activities, it is being offered as a “virtual” ride. Somehow Susan found the ride online and we signed up for it. We received the maps, water bottle decal and coupon for the PIE, and could choose anytime from now through the month of August to complete any of the loops we wanted.

We thought we a would just come for the day and do one of the loops, pick up the pie and drive home. 

We got the Pie first...

And you can see we enjoyed half of it before even getting on our bike! Strawberry Rhubarb. It was/is scrumptious!

Once on the island, a ferry ride from near home, we checked at Fort Casey State Park for a camp spot. They were full up. On the way to Pie, there is Fort Ebey State Park and the sign as we drove in said CAMPGROUND FULL. Pulling through to turn around for the exit, we asked if there had  been any cancellations. YES! 

We got our spot with no electrical hookup, put up the screen tent and drove on for PIE. 

By now it was a bit late in the gray day. After our weekly ZOOM meeting with RR friends, we stayed around camp, set up a privacy area for the porta potty, had dinner, ate Pie, played a couple of rounds of Mexican Train, watched a show (Janet King) we had downloaded on the iPad, and it was soon bedtime.

Our Privacy area ;’-)😉🤗. 

We would ride tomorrow ;’-).
