Maggie, thanks for the San Juan Islands pix. I've been going to to Orcas Isl. since 1947.
I spent many summers of my youth in the San Juans, my family has had property on
Orcas Isl. since 1901. My sister is a full timer near East Sound and I've still have 2 acres
near North Beach that was my great grand ma's home in the 20's,30's & 40's. I have a
life time of good memories from that area.
