Rough Directions -
I-5 heading North: Take exit 182 onto SR-525 and follow to its end at the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal.

I-5 heading South: Take exit 189 onto SR-526 and follow it to SR-525 and Mukilteo Ferry Terminal.

Cost for the ferry is $6.30 for car/driver plus additional $3.60 per passenger.
Cost for the parks = $5.00 (covers all parks).

If you miss the ferry, the first stop is Possession Point Park at the south end of Whidbey Island, we should be there for awhile so you can catch up.

To Possession Park:
From clinton, just after leaving the boat, turn left on Deer Lake Rd (it turns into Holst Rd) for 3.4miles, . Turn right onto Glendale, Left onto Jewett, veer left onto Possession Rd. Follow signs to the park.

From there we'll caravan to Langley for lunch, there are a few restaurants to choose from.

Next stops will be:

Ft. Casey
Greenbank Farms (if there is interest in the Spring Flea Market)
Deception Pass park (west lot)
Deception pass bridge
Mt. Eerie (if there is interest)
La Conner via Swinomish Indian Reservation

From La Conner we'll split up to head home. North end people have taken Chuckanut home, someone should arrange that caravan.

I might be able to make this one with you guys. I will keep you posted

 

Doubt i will be able to make this but we will see......

 

YAY! MR2's!

I will not be able to make this drive. The NWMR2 group is a great bunch of people. I encourage everyone to go.

 

This sounds like a fun drive, never been over to Whidbey Island, may have to work the calender over to work this in, will have to leave my area reeeal early, but would be fun to do. Anyone from Port./Van. thinking of doing this? Dogs allowed? Gracie would want to go for a cruise too.

 

____ wish i could go since i finally got an 05 tc and oh yeah i deliver up there on thursdays for work, i head over to the island at the same ferry terminal.
