I'm not able to access the internet with my computer at Fort Flagler so I'm catching up while we are on our days off at home.

The General Store and Post Office in
Nordland, outside the park. There's even a
swing hanging from the rafters.

The best blueberries ever! We ate the whole box for dessert.

We had fresh oysters from the General Store
with our Calvary Hiker friends.

Sign outside the store.

A few members of the resident deer herd at the park.

View from our picnic table at dinner time. The cloud
formations are constantly changing.

5:30 AM from our bedroom window.

The Calvary Hikers came to visit on the 15th. We toured the museum and had a special
docent tour of the Fort Hospital. Afterwards, we walked the Fort trails. Some went
nearly 5 miles while others did 3. Sonny got the fire hot to cook the oysters.
The friends brought soup, salads, cornbread and lemon bars to go with the oysters.
It was a lovely day with good friends.

The wide open grounds provide space for kite flying.

We went over to Port Townsend to wander around town. This photo is from one of
the parks looking towards Fort Flagler. The little white dots to the
right of the bluff is the lower campground at Fort Flagler.

Harbor at the end of town.

Party Town!

City park on the water

Flowers along the sidewalk. What are these long pods?

On the way back to our campsite, we stopped at Fort Townsend State
Park. The 4th US Infantry was holding a re-enactment and we
had an interesting historical conversation with 3 Union soldiers.
The truck in the campsite was a little out of place for the period.

Calm waters under the bridge crossing
to Indian Island on our way to
Fort Flagler.

Western Washington University has a large experimental agricultural
farm on the island. The piggies have a home near the road.

This car seems to come by the fort every Saturday evening for a cruise.

Our neighbors had their grandchildren for a visit. The
breeze kept their kite up quite a while.

One of the talented park volunteers made this bench
from an old fort sign.

This is Camp Wilson, an old WWII barracks that will accommodate
about 30 people but you need to make your reservation
9-12 months in advance.

This couple toured the park on their bikes.

Can't help but take daily photos of Mt Baker over the camp sign.
(Early morning)

July 21st was our 37th wedding anniversary so we went to
"Music on the Dock" at Pope Marina Park in Port Townsend
to listen to Uncle Funk and Dope 6.

The people watching was most interesting! Dancing is popular in Port Townsend.
The dance floor was crowded and you didn't need a partner, just a desire to
express yourself!

Variety of clothing and foot wear. Long slits on dresses, hiking
boots, bare feet, orange polka dotted knee socks, long skirts, short
skirts, and all in between.

From our chairs, we could see the teenagers jumping off the pier.

We rarely have Thai food so we decided to try out

Khu Larb Thai Restaurant.

Sonny had duck with curry sauce and I had mussels. All very good.

Afterwards, we walked to the Soda Fountain for a little ice cream treat.

I covered for the Park Admin Assistant while she was away for 2 days during the week.
My biggest task was to photo copy and fold the numerous brochures.
