We broke camp late enough that we didn't have to drive in rush hour traffic north to Burlington and then west over the bridge to Fidalgo Island which connects to Whidbey Island. Deception State Park is located on both sides of Deception Pass, a waterway between the two islands in Puget Sound connected by two bridges.
We had no problems getting a campsite which has not always been the case on this trip. Once we got settled in we took a short drive south to Coupeville as a way to explore where we are located. We drove past the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station where they fly four different types of jets. We have yet to see any of them fly overhead because of fog and clouds but they certainly are loud! The next town is Oak Harbor where we will find most of the necessities of life and then Coupeville which is a small village on the east side of the island on the far side of Penn Cove. It is a quaint little seaside village with neat shops and restaurants.
A nice dinner, campfire and a good book rounds out the evening.
