Thank you, Moe!
I think you suggested camping at this state park near Port Townsend
(Fort Worden). I am so happy we took your advice!

First thing, we hiked out to the beach in the fog—surreal…Maybe too close to Halloween for this type of adventure!

Our first night here, we attended a music concert—a trio of men from Turkey. They played traditional Sufi, Anatolian, and Middle Eastern folk and contemporary soundscapes. Matt and I tapped our feet during the entire hour and a half program.

Saturday, we had a great time visiting the museums in the
fort (decommissioned in 1953—51 years of military activity)—Coast Artillery
Museum, Marine Science Center, and the Natural History Museum. (I hope to add a video of Matt feeding a sea anemone--cool!)
We visited the various old batteries. They were left open to explore—what
fun!!! Wish we had brought two
flashlights. There were tunnels,
connected walkways, small and cavernous rooms, and covered stairways.

Hope this finds you all well and happy!
Smiles and love,
Susan and Matt
