Now that I have a camping van verses a RV trailer, I decided to go off for a short trip close to home to give winter camping a try. It was nice.

I lived on Whidbey when I returned from Vietnam, and loved that area. Thanks for sharing.

Almost nothing better than making a trip to go look at rocks! Thanks for sharing your trip.

There are ophiolites near Gold Beach Oregon -- which are very underwhelming up close. The best ophiolites in the western US are down in Hells Canyon. I have seen the ophiolites in Oman, which are very impressive. I understand there are quite a few exposures in Cyprus, if you feel like a vacation to the Med.
lived for several years each in Montana, Utah, Idaho, Texas, Washington, Oregon.

Yes, the Troodos ophiolites on Cyprus are literally the textbook example of ophiolites per the petrology textbook circa 1975. Our petrology professor had extensive research interests in the Oregon and Washington ophiolites.
