South Whidbey State Park — Thursday, May. 14, 2020

Puget Sound and Islands > Whidbey Island

With work dragging me out to Whidbey, I thought I'd take my daughter along. Stopped to check out the park. Pulled into the main lot and threw up our Discovery Pass around 11:30. The closed campground loops made for excellent 5-year old biking before we ventured onto the Wilbert Trail across 525.

Wonderful little path through the woods with an obligatory stop to ogle the Ancient Cedar. Passed any number of wonderful foliage and didn't realize how much you can miss the scent of skunk cabbage and cedar duff. Ventured out onto the Fern Gully trail, nicely trimmed and cleared. Rounded the Ridge Top trail and completed the loop for a wonderful return to the woods.

We came across 6 people, 2 of whom were masked and the other 4 guiltily pulled shirts over their faces and said things like "left 'em in the car!" as we--bemasked--went by.
