Deception Pass [Contest Finalists June 2010]
Uploaded: June 21, 2010 10:49:23
Deception Pass is a strait separating Whidbey Island from Fidalgo Island,
in the northwest part of the U.S. state of Washington.
It connects Skagit Bay, part of Puget Sound, with the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
A group of sailors led by Joseph Whidbey, part of the Vancouver Expedition,
found and mapped Deception Pass on June 1, 1792.
George Vancouver gave it the name "Deception" because it had appeared to be a narrow bay instead of a strait.

I think I saw a bridge like this connecting Oregon & Washington over the gorge. My friend wanted to go over it, I said have fun leave me on this side..LOL NOT a fan of tall bridges up high~~ A great capture, brings back my anxiety..LOL #8709336Laura E. Swan June 21, 2010
When I first opened this I thought, "WOW~ Look at the Beautiful Bridge and Driftwood" (I used to collect drift wood). :)THEN I READ YOUR DESCRIPTION! This is so fun for me. I am a huge Nancy Drew PC GAME fan. I have every game ever made.
Guess what one of them is called???
HA! It was a fun game and based in this very place! Facts included for the area.
Great job Jillian! Love it!
