西北小城Anacortes

(2007-05-25 09:57:17) 下一个
ZT: Anacortes is the crown jewel of Fidalgo Island, easternmost of the San Juan Islands and jump-point to the rest of the world-renowned archipelago. Fidalgo, the “drive-to” island, is accessible by bridges from the east and from Whidbey Island to the south. It is also home to the Washington State Ferry terminal, serving the rest of the San Juans and Sidney/Victoria, British Columbia.



Washington Park, a 220-acre gem facing Rosario Strait, is this community's largest and most popular park. It features a full-service campground, boat launch, picnic shelter, and loop road for walking, biking or driving. There is also a playground and beach area for kids and adults. Deception Pass Bridge and the state's busiest park are just minutes away, offering spectacular views and unique stretches of beach.



Mount Erie Park, rising 1,300 feet above Anacortes, provides spectacular views of the Skagit Valley and neighboring islands. Surrounded by more than two square miles of public forestland, it can be reached in boots, on a bike, or in a car.



Historic Downtown Anacortes offers specialty shops, antique stores and art galleries. Our historic mural project takes travelers past restaurants boasting cuisine from the Northwest and six other nations. Quaint bed and breakfasts, inns, motels and waterfront RV parks offer an array of accommodation options.

人们来Anacortes, 大多是赶轮渡去San Juan群岛和Victoria。 岂不知, 踏上Anacortes, 就已经到了San Juan的450多个岛之一了。 Anacortes本身, 就是周末出海钓鱼捉蟹野餐划船登山攀岩…..遛弯瞎逛放松发呆的好去处。



ZT (Poem): Fidalgo SUNSET

On Puget Sound

Time is not a wave

That washes over all,

But a last ship at sunset

That draws a curtain of a thousand shades


1. Deception Pass的铁桥,看到它,想起了卡桑得拉大桥, 跨过铁桥, 就上了Whidbey 岛。铁桥的两岸,是Deception Pass State Park。





2. 从Deception Pass的铁桥远望Baker雪山





3. 从伊丽山(Mt Erie) 望Whidbey Island





4. 从伊丽山(Mt Erie)远眺San Juan Islands





5. 从伊丽山(Mt Erie)看日落San Juan





6. Washington Park,看船来船往,一本书,一杯茶, 在春天
午后野花铺就的草垫上做个美梦。





7.时光





8. 童年





9. 海的回忆





10. 归 (Washington Park in Anacortes)





11. Anacortes 港(Cap Sante in Anacortes)





12. 远航归来的船只在等待 (Cap Sante in Anacortes)




13. 终年积雪的Mt Baker (from Cap Sante, Anacortes) 冰川岩石下, 是沉睡的岩浆, 长眠待醒的巨人(海拔10,000尺的Baker是休眠火山)





14. Washington Park





当地特产: spot shrimp,常在20号公路边上有挂牌卖煮熟的,去皮即食, 原汁原味,不用任何佐料。


有感于看Erdong, 77华州行系列大作,每个都想顶, 让我手痒, 借机续貂 。并希望
借此给有计划西北行的风情坛友们,出点主意。


Anacortes: 西雅图西北78英里, 开车约1个半小时。

Deception Pass State Park: 距Anacortes约10英里, Hwy 20 Oak Harbor/Whidbey Island方向

谢谢观看, 旅途愉快!
