Bowman Bay Lighthouse Point Trailblazer hike

I was wondering if we would see any rain today as it had been predicted a little later today. Our Bowman Bay Lighthouse Point hike was on Whidbey Island (which is in the rain shadow of the Olympics) so, we had a pretty good chance of a dry day for our hike. It stayed grey and a little breezy by the time we stopped, but no rain! Our group of 15 headed out.

to eat lunch out of the wind and still with a great view!

after heading back past our cars. I thought we were done here, so I turned off my tracking app at the parking lot. oops

We then went on to the rest of our hike and it's wonderful sights!

I take credit for our dry day, as I wore my rain poncho to ward off the evil rain spirits ;-)

Since I turned off my endomondo app at the parking lot & restarted it, I have 2 tracks for the day.
