5th-6th June - Bay View State Park / by David Harrison

Another beautiful day .... Another lovely Log Cabin! Today we're at Bay View State Park in a Cabin with a great view! The bay in question is Padilla Bay.

In 1791 the Spaniard José María Narváez explored and named Padilla Bay, calling it Seno Padillo, in honor of Juan Vicente de Güemes Padilla Horcasitas, the viceroy of New Spain.

It’s a tidal bay, entirely flooded at high tide with exposed mudflats at low tide - habitat for many species of birds and animals.

Swinomish Channel is a salt-water channel in Washington State, United States, which connects Skagit Bay, to the south, and Padilla Bay, to the north, separating Fidalgo Island from mainland Skagit County.

Amanda spent her two days observing the flora, fauna and wildlife - as her photos demonstrate - Peter Rabbit, Charlie Chipmunk & Raqi Raccoon. 

David spent his time visiting Skagit Arms to check out their extensive selection of Semi Automatic Pistols and Rifles - as his photos show!  That's a Kriss Vector K10 Gen II in the first shot - and a Remington ACR in the second.
