The last of our 3 nights on this great campsite on the edge of Cascade Lake on Orcas Island. We celebrated by drinking beer beside a roaring log fire reading Robert Service ( who started off his working life as a bank teller in Victoria , BC just over the water from here ) poems - The Shooting of Dan McGrew and The Cremation of Sam McGee - which we printed off in the library this morning . Highly recommended if you haven’t read them.
A quiet and blissfully relaxing day exploring more of Eastsound and the north of the island. Still some steep hills to negotiate but our legs must be getting stronger. We’ve booked motels for the next 2 nights the first in Anacortes from where we have the 100 odd miles to get us back to our wonderfully kind Warmshowers guests Kevin and Sun Young in Seattle. We’re booked on the morning Amtrak train with bikes to Albany, OR on Saturday from where we’ll bike the 20 odd miles to Duncan and Katy’s house in Corvallis. So , D & K , we’re still on track for being with you on Saturday evening.
Only 3 pics worth posting. Note 1. A snow capped Mount Baker.
2. Mary had to move her tent . Snorer in next site which is the problem she’s usually trying to avoid in the first place!
