2019-06-14 Miller peninsula State Park Hike
All the hikers but one
Here’s Johnny!
Darlene our Miller Peninsula State Park expert
We hiked from “You are here” to the end of the Beach Trail
The hike begins
One of the pretty flowers along the trail
Even I know the name of this one -- Foxglove
The trail is wide and well maintained
Sharlene looks happy
Richard looks like he is on a mission and Bill looks happy
Talking about two happy hikers here they are: Merrily & Tieta
There is lots of Salal with pink bell-shaped flowers
The Rhodies were mostly gone but there were a few still around
Bracket and mushroom fungi add color to the green forest
I like the different shapes and colors of the bracket fungi
I think this is a Blue gilia – maybe? It’s pretty anyway
Scentless mayweed Aster Family
Another of the few Rhodies still blooming
We walked through fields of flowers
Oxeye daisy
Bill and Jack tiptoeing through the Daisies
Speaking of tiptoeing through the Daisies look at Tieta and Sharlene
This tree really doesn’t like cable
An interesting shaped mushroom
Looks like a flying saucer ran into a tree
I like the shapes
Bracket fungi hidden under a log
We made it to our turnaround point by the sea
Protection Island with San Juan Islands background left
The girls enjoying some snacks
The guys are also enjoying some snacks
Merrily and Gary enjoy their snacks
Denny, Sharlene, Sarah and Richard all look happy
Andy and Sam munch away
Two of our new hikers
Two more of our new hikers
Bill always looks happy
Things you see along the trail
On our way back to the trailhead
Our last little Bracket fungi – I like the color
Our last stretch before we return to the trailhead
That's all folks!
