Langley, mystery week end
alors il fait pas beau la où on est??? |
Entering the village, we discover the charming streets but the people seems kind of wierd... Yes, Satursday was the first day of the mystery week end so every baody is costumed. Mystery Weekend is a yearly event occurring the last weekend in February. A fake newspaper story is run in the South Whidbey record or a fake newspaper can be purchased from the Visitor & Information Center, detailing the persons involved. The players are instructed to search every store for a box of cards, with a clue to the mystery printed on each card. Various locals play the parts of characters in the story, and players are invited to question them for information. The players who believe they have solved the game may submit their solutions and enter into a drawing of prizes.
Meerkerk Gardens, jardin expérimental
l'entrée du parc |
We leave Langley for the North, one stop at the island most narrow path to take some picture of paradise, along the coast by car and ending at Meerkerk gardens. A garden hidden in the forest, with the feet in water offers to tourists a wonderful green and peacful place. All of that is held by volunteers one of whome lives in the back of the parc.
Greenbank Farm
Producteur de vin de mûres... |
Further in the North, we stop at a farm producing blackcerry wine that we didn't tasted, com on blackberry wine for french people!!! We have lunch there with a delicious leek quiche and blackberry pie. The quantity were high class like, but it was really tasty. Finally a place out where you can eat better than when you are cooking by yourself, it is what restaurant are mede for, isn't it? We say hi to the lamas and climb the hill. Up there we can enjoy the only panoramics view of the island where we can see both the Cascades mountians on the East side and the Olympics ones on the Wesst side: Beautiful even with the clouds.
En route vers le Nord de l'île
fort Casey, reste militaire |
Plus haut dans l'île, on passe à coté de la base aéronavale près du port de Oak.
Admiratly Inlet was considered so strategic to the defense of Puget Sound in the 1890s that three forts, Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, Frort Flager on Marrowstone Island , and Forst Worden, were built at the entrance with huge guns creating a "Triangle of Fire" that could theoretically thwart any invasion attempt by sea. Fort Casey is now a 467 acres (1.89 km²) marine camping park.
Further in the North we drive along Whidbey Island Naval Air Station near Oak Harbor (N.A.S. Whidbey)
