    Pacific Northwest Tour, PART I (b) – Orcas Island

    Moss and lichen cling to everything.




    Drove up Mt. Constitution for a view of Puget Sound and Canada in the distance.








    We spent the night in a cabin at Doe Bay, and awoke to a most spectacular morning. The communities on Orcas Island emit an agreeable hippy vibe, but an upscale bay chic is encroaching.





    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Marvellous - looks so peaceful. Is the light coloured kilt difficult to keep clean when scrambling around among rocks?

    Not at all. I found a little bit of schmutz on the khaki one mid-week. I just flicked it off with my fingernail, and it was as good as new.

    Regards,
    Rex.

    Liking the way you are also taking the close ups and the scenics. Wonderful.
