Looking at the post office from the ferry
Where we are going
We started from “You Are Here” going towards the sea
All the hikers but one
Here's Johnny
The hike begins towards the sea
I know this is a weed but I still think it is pretty
Some of the pretty flowers we saw along the way
A pretty little flower hiding in the grass
Heading towards the original homesteader’s house
Isaac Ebey the original homesteader killed by Indians in 1857
The Indians also had claims to the land
Generations of farming
The Ebey’s house – note the blockhouse for protection against Indians
Ebey’s blockhouse for protection from Indians
The hike continues with Mark and Denny leading
We continue hiking toward the sea
Our view of the sea
Some more pretty flowers
We stop to read the sign on how this area was created
This area was created by multiple glaciers
The hike continues along the top of the bluff overlooking the sea
The bluff overlooks the sea
We spotted this Bald Eagle next to the trail
The trail heads down to the sea
More pretty flowers starting to bloom
I like the color
The dog knows how to hike in comfort
Our other hike leader Sarah
At 85 Bill is our senior hiker
The final descent to the sea
We made it to the beach
Jack, Judi and Sue walking on the beach
Hey, wait up – how come I have to walk
That’s better you’re carrying me again
We stop for lunch
Hey, I want some lunch too
The hike continues back to the top of the bluff
It’s a climb from the beach back to the top of the bluff
Along the bluff back to the parking lot
That’s all folks – I’m exhausted
