Alex and I went on a hike to Ebey Park, near Coupville on Whidbey Island. It was a sunny, cool, but not cold day. The beach is on the west side of Whidbey and the views were stunning. We could see the Olympic mountains along with Mount Rainier and the Cascades with Mount Baker. This doesn't happen often that you would have a day this clear to see everything. Today we did.
Mr. Ebey founded the area and helped ships navigate the channel in his row boat. He settled this area because it was a prairie and not the woodlands like most of Whidbey.
After Ebey Park, we drove a little further south and went to Fort Casey. The Fort was built during World War I to protect and defend the huge channel between the islands and mainland.
