Took ferry from Edmonds to Kingston. First time to drive car to ferry, kind of excited. when we arrived at ferry, there were already long line of cars waiting at the ports. amazed how organized they were, no traffic, everyone followed the instructors: people get on the ferry first, then bikes and motors, then cars. it took times but moved smoothly.
WA reminds me of my city in many way, ferry is one of them, except that our ferry cross Yangzi River, theirs cross ocean. Hawaii also had
SuperFerry, but before got the chance to take it, it stop operation. only remember all the fuzz it caused. Inside the ferry we found a sign saying:
New Tariff Begins: On Sunday, October 11, the newly-approved 2.5% far increase goes into effect. This saffects all fares.
Oct 11? that's the day we'll be in San Juan island...hmmm, not a good news. but at least it's not increased today.
arrived at Kingston, it's SR104, friend began driving, i got chance to relax and enjoy the view on the road. when bypassed a town, the colorful foliage impressed me, that's one of the reason i came during this season. The tree there are obviously more colorful than other places, so our guess is their residents choose them carefully to color their little town.
We missed the entrance to Hurricane Ridge twice, and finally got in. at some scenic piont we've already seen some nice view.
Hurricane Ridge is so different from Mount Rainier. the color is bright, and the ridge curve is so soft and gentle.
we had a simple lunch the Hurricane Ridge. the birds there were aggressive. friend bought chicken and chips and eating outside. birds just welcome themselves to the table, and without my friend's permission. took some chicken and flew away :)
next stop is Lake Cresent, that's the name of my friend's boss. it's just so big...., so blue and i guess so cold..
