Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge — Monday, Aug. 24, 2020

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

It's been a very long time since we've been to this nature refuge.  My only previous visits were by sea kayak, decades ago.  We spent a couple hours with friends, hiking the flat trails.  The trails are nice and wide for the most part, making social distancing possible.  Lots of people did not bother with masking but we old folks mostly following the guidelines.  Since it is so flat, I left my crutch in the car and kept up a good pace on the trails, in the warm sun.  It eventually got a bit hot.  We didn't see a wide variety of birds but it was a very pleasant experience.  A link to my photos is below.

The only downside of our day was the drive home, heading up I-5, in lots of traffic and with a number of road construction areas to deal with.
