PIE RIDING ON WHIDBEY

Waking to no rain and a cloudy morning, we packed up for our departure from camp after breakfast. Susan was convinced that she NEEDED to go back to 3 Sisters for a pie do take home. This time —- Marionberry. That errand done, we drove to the ride start at Fort Casey.

We so very much enjoyed the route the organization had provided us, and loved all the quiet roads, peaceful farms, and beautiful scenery. Taking off from the parking lot we had these visitors resting for the mid morning.

Much better than houses and buildings lining our way, we enjoyed this country outing.





This monster greeted us at one stop...

And as we traveled on we found some of his ‘mates’. Must be a fad.

We seem to often come across these blue bottle trees.

Always love the horses. Note the baby’s head peeking out under the first adult. They kept moving around every time I moved to get a better shot of them. They were protecting the baby, and the one on the outside kept circling between me and them. Beautiful horses.

We got onto this trail for just a little stretch next to the highway and recalled the times that our friend Lisa, when she lived on Whidbey, took us for a ride that incorporated most of the trail into Coupeville.

I did not know the name of the trail — Kettles — or had forgotten it.

Nice view of the sound as we slid downhill. To the only real up hill of the ride! Fortunately, though it was steep, it was short.



Interesting farm buildings.

A rope swing...

And a relic.

And so ends another adventure. See you next time ;’-).
