San Juan Islands, WA

Just got back from three days in the San Juans!  They are numerous beautiful islands in Washington, a great place to visit!  Even though I was there on business, took time to check out the boxes.
 
Caught the afternoon ferry Monday and stopped at Lopez Island.  Went down to Agate Beach to search for the 7Nails two boxes.  Got to Agate Beach in time to watch the gorgeous sunset.  A very clear evening, a very colorful sunset as the sun sank behind Vancouver Island.  Searched for the boxes, "I am sure I was in the right place" (where have you heard that before???) possibly.  It was too dark by then to safely reach under logs and behind trees, so postponed (aka gave up) the search for another day.
 
On San Juan found the box at English Camp in good condition.  Beautiful views of Garrison Bay, the box was under a great log to sit on and log in and enjoy the view.
 
Headed down to Lime Kiln State Park and the Whale Watch.  Saw another beautiful sunset from the Whale Watch.  Found the letterbox in great condition, in a great location.  Sat on the bench to log in and watch the ships go by and watch the remnants of the sunset.
 
If you are ever in the area, a trip to the San Juans would be a very scenic addition to your visit!
