Camping on Lopez Island


On the ferry that brought us to Lopez Island.


Autumn had a blast running around the boat.


Setting up camp at Spencer Spit Campgrounds. 


Auty helping out.  :)



Just a 5 minute walk from our campsite


Water is still a little chilly, but warmer than the Oregon Coast.  


Houses built out of the plethora of driftwood found along the beaches.




Took a drive up to the Shark Reef Sanctuary for a little hike, but no swimming.  :)


Beautiful and very serene.


We did not see any sharks, but did see many sea lions and seals.  The landscape was sensational.


Artwork found along the hike.


After our hike we decided to drive around and find a place for the kids to play in the sand and the water.  This is just some of the landscape we saw along the way.


This was one of our stops to find some driftwood and seashells for some arts and craft projects.


Here we are at Watmough Bay looking for agates.



Kids found some Bullwhip Kelp that was about 30 feet long!  They had fun playing with it.  Didn't know what to do with it until a guy came along and showed us.


Here he is whirling it around his head about to make a huge snapping sound with the whip that echoed like a gunshot through the cliff walls that surrounded us.  Crazy!!!
