Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I vote for Yellowstone....one of my favorite places!!

Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :

What say ye Hiker? Yellowstone it is?

I hear the lodge at Yellowstone is worth the trip in itself.

We could all stay at the lodge, eat good food, go on day hikes.

ohhh.. yes...but I'll skip the hiking part!! [Wink]

I've been to San Juan. Love that area of the country!!

OK San Juan Islands it is. I tried to copy and paste a picture of the Orca's but did not succeed.

The following log entry did take though.

Log Entry for June 2-4 - San Juan Islands 3-day Camping Trip

The three-day kayak trip started out from the north end of San Juan Island with very calm air and glassy water. The first day's most important sighting was of a minke whale gulping its way through the baitfish schools near Battleship Island. After setting up camp on Stuart Island and having dinner, the group hiked 2.5 miles to the Turn Point Lighthouse for a spectacular sunset view from the 200-foot cliff top. Numerous Dall's porpoise raced and rolled across the glowing waters as they rushed to fill their stomachs before night fell.
The second day of the kayak trip was equally calm in the morning. Both river otters and mink were observed scampering on the beach during breakfast. Overhead an osprey carried branches to a nearby nest in preparation for egg laying. Afterwards, we struck out in the unloaded kayaks to circumnavigate the entire island, a journey of 12 miles. Along the way we passed many guillemots, oystercatchers, murrelets and other interesting marine birds. Birdlife was particularly rich beneath the same cliffs that we observed the sunset from the night before. Here the pigeon guillemots and pelagic cormorants had set up breeding colonies, and a bald eagle kept watch over the strait from its perch in a Douglas-fir. The eagle's view of the porpoises must have been better than ours, even with the aid of our binoculars! Afternoon breezes kicked up as we headed back into the long and narrow bay that sheltered our camp.

Our last day was very challenging due to strong breezes gusting up to 20 knots in Speiden Channel. After leaving the shelter of our bay, we encountered steady 2-foot waves with occasional 3-footers splashing on the paddlers in the bow cockpits. We had an hour of hard work pushing into the wind and waves until we finally made it across the channel into the shelter of the next bay. As the conditions were even worse in Haro Strait we decided to end the trip for safety reasons at historical Roche Harbor.
