Fabulous Fort Flagler, its not just for ham radio afficianados anymore

Soon I will have to start sending pictures only. If I continue to write in any amount of detail, about the places we have been over the last 30 days, this will become a book. Tedious for the writer, drudgery for the reader. I'll try and be brief. 



After the big ham radio field day, we remained at Fort Flagler but moved to an area of the campground next to the water where our internet worked. Fred toiled away every day but during breaks, we played in the tide pools, watched close up while an otter caught and ate his lunch and took movies of the resident eagle doing eagle things. 

 
They booted us out of there on July 1st. The arrival of the big 4th of July weekend brought with it lot of folks who thought ahead and reserved their spot for the party. Included with those incoming folks was the campground host. Turns out we were enjoying HIS spot. It was a primo site and we were sorry to vacate. The hundred plus year old Army fort was interesting and fun to explore. Nearby Port Townsend with its historic buildings, antique shops, art galleries and restaurants was a pleasant change of pace. The place was teeming with wildlife and we had to dodge fawns playing keep away from their mom's in the roadway every day. We are really glad the Mike and Key Club invited us to join them for Field Day 2011.
