Some trips are good, others are better and exceed expectations. This trip falls into the latter category. Plans for this trip started forming with the thought that now that I have a van, it is easier to get away and I should just do it. I should try winter camping. Logic told me to stay close to the salt water where it is warmer and go when it is sunny. Hum. The day after Thanksgiving started a sunny streak of weather and Fidalgo Island (City of Anacortes, Washington area) had some ophiolite rocks I’d read about. Off I went.
