Key Peninsula, Herron Bay

One afternoon while we were visiting in Washington State, Bede and I took a drive across the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to Key Peninsula. We drove some back roads and went through a tall stand of evergreen trees, like driving through a tunnel and suddenly came upon Herron Bay. At the end of the road was a ferry dock. The ferry was just coming in from Herron Island. Across the bay were the Olympic mountains. It was absolutely breathtaking.



We watched the ferry unload as the ferry pilot chatted with everyone. It was obvious that most if not all the passengers were regulars, well known to the pilot.
