Odlin County Park on Lopez Island is a delightful campground with 31 camp sites, some right next to the beach. We enjoyed campfires til the last night when a fire ban was instituted by the county fire marshal due to high fire risks. We can relate to that and did not complain. The sandy beach is great for going barefoot and beach combing. The dogs found some sticks and two tennis balls so they had everything they needed to stay busy when they weren’t napping. Our friend took Ken fishing for escaped Atlantic Salmon. See this article and this one too for more information about this non-native species. And then he loaned us crab gear so we could catch and eat dungeness crab!
Life was very good to us on Lopez Island. No doubt, we will return!
Sweet campsite right on the beach
Luna met another labradoodle named Grover. He was about her size but obviously did not get a summer cut like Luna did.
This Bald Eagle kept a watchful eye over the campground

Well look at that! Crabs!
Can’t keep females.
Males have to be big enough
