14 July 2022 Orcas Island: Exploration Day 3




Orcas Island offers road after road to explore as they wind along the sea and then the thru big trees and then around another turn.  We stopped in at a winery, a farm stand  and a few beaches.  Our technique is to see if the road is private or not.  If it is not private, we drive it to the end.  The end may be a beach, a harbor or a gravel road that is private.  Lots of  smiles and  different animals of this easy laid back day



A large lake by the State Park


Apparently folks swim here


and sail


The tides are huge, there are 10 or 12 rungs that show evidence of being underwater

At the Orcas Island Winery and were met by the guard dog


A very fierce one indeed


Hee Haww!


Goat cheese for all!


These type of lakes are spread all across the Island


There is an Orca on the top of the weather vane


We had to stop because a dozen baby turkeys were sitting in the meddle of the road


You can see then behind her tail feathers


Lots of chicks


Scary looking beasts


Ogres roam here as well
