After a leisurely morning, we drove over toward Indian Island and then onto Morrowstone Island and Fort Flagler. On the way we spotted a large government facility that turned out to be the Naval Weapons Arsenal. There were miles of tall chain-link fence topped with Constantino wire. Not long after that we drove by signs for Mystery Bay and thought we should check that out on the way back.
First thing we saw upon entering the park were deer eating their way across a small field. Then we found a great little beach with a large quantity of driftwood.
After wandering on the beach for a bit and spotting a few shells 
and smooth pebbles, we headed toward 
one of the old battery’s. This has been the first battery that actually had artillery pieces on their mounts. They were small 3″ guns. There were quite a few other battery’s on that point, but none of the others had their guns mounted.
Afterward we drove over to the other side of the fort, and while doing so, passed a very large concrete bunker system that was probably where the generals would hide during a battle. It was buried deep in the woods away from the water. Once we reached the other side, there was a very nice campground and another beach with lots of kids playing. From there you could see Port Townsend across the water and a huge crane apparatus over on Indian island apparently for loading the Navy ships with ammunition.
On the way out, we turned down the road to Mystery Bay. I saw nothing indicating why it was called that, but it was a nice county park that had a long dock for tying up your boat. The signs stated you can tie up there for up to 3 days. Now that’s pretty cool. There was even a picnic table on the floating dock. I cannot ever remember seeing a picnic table on a boat dock, to bad we didn’t bring a picnic basket.
On the ride back we spotted a Mexican restaurant and looked it up on Google. Had high ratings from hundreds of reviews. We were very glad we stopped by for dinner. It was really good Mexican food!
