On June 5th<\/sup> Barb and I took the day off work and went for a drive to Lopez Island. Lopez is the third largest of the San Juan Island archipelago.<\/a> A map is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We had been there together<\/a> before (and here<\/a>) in 2015 and camped. This time it was just for the day. Going earlier in the year resulted in the temperature being a little cooler. With a little bit of wind it was occasionally on the cool side of comfortable but with a flannel shirt or sweatshirt it was still nice.<\/p>\n

We saw many of the same things and hiked many of the same trails. It was our first real excursion together since the COVID-19 outbreak. The lack of traffic, both on the highways and the ferries, reflected the current situation. It seemed that we almost had the island to ourselves. It was a wonderful vacation from the lockdown.<\/p>\n

The trails were wonderful. The views were wonderful. And the companionship was awesome.<\/p>\n

I suspect this is evidence of the glacier from the last ice age.<\/p>\n

If the air is clear enough you can see Mount Baker from the island. It\u2019s fifty miles away. It was a little cloudy this time and I didn\u2019t get any pictures of it. This picture is from our last visit in 2015:<\/p>\n
