| FORT EBEY STATE PARK I've visited this park several times over the years from childhood on. I went here with my girlfriend - later wife - and her twin toddler nephews. We sat in a grassy field with a picnic spread out. The view was magnificent of the wide Strait of Juan de Fuca and the distant Olympic Mountains. The grass ends abruptly at a cliff edge, so that we saw grass then water without a transition. It gave me a strong sense of sitting at the edge of the world. Pictured here is a more recent visit with my own twin boys and their friend Joe. I think the parking lot and trail down to the beach is fairly new - or else we missed it before. Then we returned to the familiar grass field, which was now brown, trampled and full of skydivers getting ready to jump off the cliff. From here we followed the cliff's edge trail that leads to some of the old artillery batteries erected to keep us safe from the Canadians.
