Whidbey Island

May 13-14

Rumble and rain sleep but wake to breaking sun on misted ridges.  Backing out and west on Washington State 542 where  The Call of the Wild  was filmed in 1934 starring Clark Gable and Loretta Young.  A return to Sedro-Wooley and visit to Mt. Baker Ranger District Office.  Apparently not the only one reporting helicopters at night in area but not information here.

Hwy 20 to Fidalgo Island and bridged at Deception Pass to Whidbey Island.

Mid morning low tide walk with ecstatic canine crazy run on surf.  Walk back converges with post clamming couple. The male trudges past mumbles return greeting.  Behind the lady suddenly emits a resounding glass shattering dog terrorizing scream pointing to beach.  Crawling on the beach, a tent caterpiller which is diligently hand scooped and tossed away with goal of ending the vocal emission.  No such luck as the screaming continues up the beach, across the grass and even in the auto.
