Of the island
Spent my first weekend off the island since September. Took a quick trip over to Anacortes to explore, and hike around. Went on a nice hike through the woods in a local park with some beautifully old trees, including Madronas. Some trees out on a bluff overlooking the water were warped and wind blown with bare and twisted trunks---very unique shapes. Also one of the outlooks was a bluff covered in this interesting red rock. It was scared and rutted like it had been scraped, I'm not sure much about the geology of the area but I'm guessing it was shaped by glacier movement.
Explored the view from Mt. Erie. The designated lookout platforms offer a poor view of the area, but if you hike back from the paved path, there is an incredible view of the islands, mountains and water. It was crazy windy, we thought we'd be blown off.
The ferry crossing back to the island was a little rough. Very strong winds, and white caps, but we made it back safe.
