    Default Trip to Orcas Island

    ​Took a quick trip to Orcas Island in the San Juans to escape the heat in Portland. First day was beautiful and I rode to the cute little town on an airport courtesy bike for a meal. That night as I was trying to sleep in my tent (the airport allows camping with nice bathrooms and showers) the wind came up and howled all night and next morning. Clouded up with fog banks drifting around so I packed up and headed home.

    Looks like a beautiful destination Jim. Too bad the wind chased you out early.
