Rock On!

Posted on Monday June 2nd, 2014 by | 1 comment

We finally received the rock the park ordered 3+ weeks ago. The Rangers was kind enough to have it dumped right across from our Upper Loop Host site, so it was not a long drive to get a bucket full of rock like it was when we was at Fort Flagler.

However, I would have much rather have either one of the tractors Fort Flagler has over the one South Whidbey has. Its a powerful muscle, but it struggled to do the “fine tuning” I would like to have done better.

But it still got the job done.

I did the best I could do, but the tractor didn’t make it as easy as it could have. It’s older, and it felt like the controls were backwards compared to the other tractors I’ve used, but again, it got the job done.

I’m worn out and tired.

We had a really long day, so I really do not have much to say, but at least we got to see our first Barred Owl.

Possession Point

Posted on Sunday June 1st, 2014 by | 1 comment

We thought we visited Possession Point State Park but as it turns out, we was at the Possession Point County Park. The state park was about 1/2 miles down the road.

Ok, whatever, not like I ever use a GPS or read road signs or anything.

We took a small hike, about 3/4 of a mile, but it was all +/- 300′ and honestly we didn’t see too much to make it worth the time and effort. We did see many American Robins, a few Dark-eyed Juncos and a bagillion Tent Worms which are everywhere, we had so many crawling on us, we got tired of picking them off.

We hiked to the peak and found a nice place to rest, but again, nothing really to see but tree’s and we found a water fountain of all things on the peak but of course, it didn’t work.

We walked around the dock and saw 3 Great Blue Herons and as well as a Osprey and heard a few Rufous Hummingbirds and 4 or 5 rabbits and some deer.

We drove back to Freeland, WA and stopped at the local food truck of Bubba’s Burgers and enjoyed eating them, not the best I have ever had, but I would go back.

We will go to Possession Point State Park soon, the County Park was ok, but honestly, it needed a lot of care to make it look more presentable and less neglected.
