It's kinda pretty here

 

I found this great spot along Chuckanut Drive about 10 miles south of Bellingham.  I pulled over to eat lunch at a scenic overlook and saw a trail that dropped into the woods and headed towards the water.  Tucker and I plunged down this incredibly steep trail and found ourselves at a set of train tracks and then the water.  Hidden between the train tracks and the water was a great little camping spot that has been  shown a lot of love.  There was a bunch of stone walls that were ringing the camping area with a bunch of artsy rock cairns and a great little firepit.  I am guessing that it is mainly used by sea kayakers as there really isn't any access besides this.  It was nice to find such a gem with absolutely no garbage around it.  Tucker went for a swim for a little while and got to see his first freight train go by within 20 feet.  He wasn't really sure what to think about it.
