Sadly it's now just a part of Whidbey history.

August 9, 2018 - September 3, 2018 - Woolastook Provincial Park


Woolastook Provincial Park  
Our hosts at Woolastook - Cheryl and Des.
We met them last year in Florida where they spend the winters away from the cold and snow of New Brunswick.
We had such a wonderful time there.
Doreen and Barney enjoy a ride on a golf cart provided by Des and Cheryl. 
The park is huge so a golf cart was a great way to see it all.


Kings Landing Historical Settlement - another terrific living history museum, certainly the most picturesque!
