Fort Ebey & Fort Worden

 093025 - 100525 Fort Ebey and Fort Worden

After a wonderful stay at the Glenwood SW resort, I took off for a a couple days in Whidbey Island area, camping at Fort Ebey State Park.  I took the I5 from Olympia to Mount Vernon then jumped on Highway 20 all the way through Deception Pass, Oak Harbor, all the way to the campground. Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve is on the Puget Sound's Admiralty Inlet, the waterway connects with the Straits of Juan de Fuca.  Named for Colonel Isaac Neff Ebey, one of the first permanent settlers on Whidbey Island, WA. He came to the island from Missouri in 1851.  I spent the whole day exploring trails on the the coast line and the remains of the gun turrets. The campground was quiet and peaceful. The ranger station was already closed for the season, but one of the rangers was able to sell me a park sticker.

I camped for 2 days then took the Coupeville to Port Townsend ferry across the Admiralty Inlet to meet up with Todd & Kate at Fort Worden Historic State Park. I set up in front of their Bend Teardrop Camping Trailer.   The next day John showed up. 

We went on walks during the day and played Old Time music in evening. The campground was full because this was the weekend of the 2026 Kinetic Sculpture Race, the topic of my next post. So thanks for visiting and please leave a comment if you have one.
