Saw that which you see here, this morning, on Facebook. Such puts me in mind of how different it is where I live now, than where I lived the majority of my existence on planet Earth.
From my abode in Mount Vernon I could drive a few miles to the east and be in the Cascade Mountain foothills.
Drive a few miles west and I could be at a saltwater beach, digging for clams, or jigging for crabs.
From Anacortes I could hop a Washington State Ferry and float to the various San Juan Islands. Or float to Victoria, on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada.
The San Juan Islands are in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains. Hence way less rain than the Western Washington locations located closer to the Cascade Mountains.
You can drive your vehicle onto a Washington ferry. Or just walk on. Or take your bike. I've done all three, with the vehicle option the most frequent.
There are no ferry boats or saltwater beaches or mountains in any direction, hundreds of miles, from my current location...
