Spencer Island

I like to walk during the week to stay in shape for weekend hikes, and Spencer Island just North of Everett has miles of trails which accomplish that with great scenery. Although the main entrance to Spencer Island is closed currently, you can still access the Island via Langus Riverfront Park. The dike is still out East of the old barn. Very few bugs right now. Lots of ripe blackberries. There were many dark clouds, with sunbreaks; so there was a nice glow for pics. Only a few other people here today, some on bikes; since some of the trails are paved. Views of the mountains were fleeting today. When clear, you can see Baker, Three Fingers and Pilchuck. Walked about seven miles total. Spooked three herons, and saw several other species.
