The mosquitoes weren't too bad in late summer, and the bears weren't grizzlies. (They ran away when we made noise.)

And don't forget that this is berry season in Western Washington -- tons of huge delicious blackberries everywhere, like weeds. (Bring leather gloves for the thorns.) Huckleberries and wild mountain blueberries at the higher elevations. Bring a small plastic bag to sit on -- otherwise the seat of your pants will look like this:

I am pretty sure (but not positive) that that is Mt. Shuksan in the background; we were in the Mt. Baker area when this shot was taken.

I should add that the mountain blueberries grow very close to the ground. So instead of bending over to pick them, we sit on the ground. But the ground is covered with berries . . . .
After I took that shot, I told DW that she looked like a cup of unstirred yogurt. She said, "What??" I answered, "Yep. Fruit on the bottom!"

The trouble is that if that place exists, it would be so crowded that you wouldn't want to live there. The DW loved Cape Cod when she summered here as a kid. We moved here 20 years ago and we are prisoners in our neighborhood on the weekends.
Be careful what you wish for. If I lived in that place, I wouldn't tell anyone.

Lake Geneva, Door County. Just about anywhere in the southern part of the state.
