Sam And Saundra's Year Long Adventure - Part 178

Sam And Saundra’s Year Long Adventure – Part 178

Washington

8/28/09 - 9/4/09 - Whidbey Island, Anacortes, Fildalgo Bay

Local Business Tribute

Sam and I chose to come to the Whidbey Island area to visit high school friends of Sam. We did and had a great time and fabulous meal. We stayed a little over a week, mostly because the weather was great!  We split our time between the Pioneer Trail RV Park, the Northern Lights RV Park at the Sonomish casino, and the Fildalgo Bay RV Park and Resort.  We enjoyed all three.  The one at the casino was just a railroad track away from the water, and provided a nice scenic view for an extremely reasonable price – with free wifi.  The other two were wonderful, had all the amenities, but we paid for it.  The Fildalgo Bay RV Park was hard to get to, but was almost in the water. It had a boat launch, beach for clamming and access to the walkway that goes from way over there to the left (where some factories factorize), over a long, long pathway bridge over more water, by the RV park and left all the way to Anacortes and beyond.  Nice, paved, wide path – big enough for walkers, bikers, skaters and even joggers.  We walked it, Sam biked it and we both completely enjoyed it. Especially the pathway bridge part.  Great pictures. 

Sam On Walkway - Some View Huh?

We drove to the ferry crossings, checked out the ferries to all sorts of places, and vowed to try and get our kids and grandkids to come back with us to this area.  We took a short boat sightseeing trip around the Fildalgo Bay area and under the Deception Bay Bridge.  Saw eagles, seals and several saw a whale (not me, sniffle). It was inexpensive and a great way to see and learn about the local area.  We mostly rested, ate lots of salmon, enjoyed shopping and Sam started the outside cleaning on the trailer and working on some of the little things that tend to go wrong in a year of travel on not the best of roads.
