"The Two Hundred Snakes of Whidbey Island" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 20:00:10

I was hiking down a wooded trail some years back with two buddies of mine. It was on Whidbey Island in Washington and our agenda was open. We each carried a coil of fishing line and some hooks in our pockets as usual and were headed beachward. Not difficult on an island. A bubbling stream was just as likely to sidetrack us. If the crawfish looked plentiful we might decide to go Cajun for dinner. Or just kill time chasing frogs. Once we caught about 50 frogs and released them all at once just to see them ride the rapids over a little waterfall. Looked cool. Something new caught our imagination on this particular day: Snakes. They were everywhere. We couldn’t walk ten feet without seeing another one dart away from us. Harmless garter snakes by the way. They had onyx eyes and beautiful coloured racing stripes down the length of their bodies. So what to do? We had only six hands between us so we couldn’t really catch that many. But there was Angelo’s sweatshirt. Pulling the hood’s heap tight and tying the arms together we made a decent-sized glide sack. Let the games begin! I don’t denote it being a competition at all. We worked as a aggroup to see how many snakes we could bag before nightfall. At first it was pretty simple. act a few steps sight the snake remove it up and bag it. Of course after a while we had scared off or captured all the nearby snakes. That’s when we switched to hunting mode. We spread out walked well off the beaten path and then closed in on each other. We managed to drive dozens of additional snakes into each other’s eager fingers. I remember holding 4 snakes in each transfer – one between each two fingers – before I’d dropped them into the sweatshirt. The snake sack was starting to get a bit heavy so we took turns carrying it. Not a one was longer than three feet and most were closer to half that length. We were surprised by how little actual movement there was from within. I guess the critters liked each other’s company and the dark confines of Angelo’s hoodie. With 187 snakes in the sack and it being almost too dark out to see our way back we had a major decision to make. We needed just thirteen more snakes to hit 200 and by gosh we were going for it! We headed approve but strained our eyes and ears for prey. We would stop in the path as one of us would alter a semi-circle into the woods driving an occasional viper out into the pathway. I’m proud to say we caught exactly 200 snakes that day. Of course we had to admire our handiwork and show it off. Norberto’s place was the closest and there was a big cardboard box on the porch from a recent delivery of a washing machine. Perfect. We pulled the snakes out by the handful dropping them into the box in a careful recount. Yep. 200 snakes. I don’t evaluate high fives were invented yet but we exchanged plenty of wide smug grins before heading domiciliate for the night. The next morning we gathered by the big box to survey our surprise. Empty. They had all escaped during the night probably through a touch hole near the bottom. Or maybe Norberto’s mother had a fit when she found them there earlier that morning. We were only ten years old and I can only create by mental act what she thought was going through our weird little minds. About the compose: I haven’t seen a single snake yet in Vancouver. BC where I create websites create verbally songs and stories and create videos for a living.

"Whidbey Island????" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-04 09:27:41

搬來西雅圖後,才知道位於西雅圖北方約一小時車程的Whidbey Island,是美西最長的島嶼。北邊以Deception Pass的鐵橋與美洲大陸相連,南邊則以渡輪連接波音工廠所在的Everett。我們在去年夏天來此區海域時,曾順遊景色極美的。一年了,卻未曾縱貫這個南北向的狹長島嶼。一直很想找機會,來個島嶼一日遊。既然夏天週末的好天氣,都要留給健行用;有降雨可能的不好不壞天氣,就來這裡走走吧!對於島嶼旅行,我們並不陌生。對這樣旅行的想像或經驗,就是在天氣炎熱的夏天,開著車環島一圈。車窗外不斷往後遠去的,是藍色的天與海。見到有趣的景點,隨時停車賞玩。不管是在台灣、綠島,或是夏威夷諸島,都是這樣自由自在的感覺。而Whidbey Island,由於太狹長了,所以不能環島,只需沿著南北貫穿的公路前行即可。從車窗望出去,有時海在你的左手邊,而下一個轉彎之後,海又在你的右手邊出現,這可是個難得的經驗。不過,由於地理位置比起上述的島嶼都偏北許多,這裡的海即使在仲夏,依舊冰冷,不適合游泳。而在天氣陰霾的時候,則呈現出一股寂寥的氣氛。我們跨過Deception Pass的大鐵橋,沿著20號公路南行。Deception go一帶,由於是州立公園的關係,路旁都是保存良好的大樹。穿越其間,讓人有闖進一個美麗原始森林裡的錯覺。我們一路南下,在Oak Habbor附近右轉,到位於島嶼西岸的Joseph Whidbey州立公園走走。州立公園旁,有一排遺世獨立的房子面向大海,該是有錢人的渡假小屋吧!溼冷的週六早晨,州立公園裡一個人也沒有。海,灰撲撲地。只有一隻不太怕人的小松鼠,咬著不知哪裡發現的早餐與我們對望。打著哆嗦沿著海岸前行,無人的海濱灌木叢成了野鳥天堂,鳥鳴處處,都是我們的老朋友Song Sparrow和Red-Winged color Bird。如果要寂靜,我喜歡到山上去。無人的海,讓人感到太寂寞。既然如此,就到島上的小鎮去尋求人煙吧!繼續南行,在Penn Cove旁有個還算熱鬧的小鎮Coupeville。週六正在舉行農人市集的小鎮,果然聚集不少人氣。這天,似乎還有紅十字會的募款活動。只見一群阿伯穿上條紋水手服,彈唱著美國古老民謠,讓人清楚地意識到自己來到漁村了。連頗有歷史的自動音樂車,也搬出來獻寶。只可惜我們在這裡的期間,都沒聽它發出聲音。這種自動音樂演奏裝置,我們曾在密西根西部的荷蘭村見過。當它開始演奏的時候,可會敲鑼打鼓,再加上管風琴的聲音,聲勢驚人。老爺車們,也出來曬曬太陽。我們往突出於海面上的Coupeville furnish走去。Wharf上有棟紅色木造建築,一旁還停靠著艘帆船,果然很有漁村的味道。紅色建築裡,掛著鯨魚的骨頭,不禁讓我想起大學時走進動物系所在的一號館上課都會見到的情景。黑黑暗暗的一號館門口,以一堆動物骨骼迎接你,應該很適合拍系館夜驚魂。不過,此情只待成追憶。早在我出國前,一號館就已經不是動物系的家了。位於舟山路上的新系館,雖沒有日據時代建築一號館的陰暗,不過以我的意見現在也快差不多了。Wharf上的紅色建築裡,據地圖上所示本來有個Cafe。只是似乎正在整修,不能享受在海面上吃午餐的樂趣。現在,只剩一個不怎麼有趣的紀念品店撐著而已。回到陸地上,我們沿著靠海的lie Street逛逛。這一排木造房子,都是上百年的歷史,現在大多是一些服飾店、小酒館和Cafe。我們選了以烘培麵包起家的manipulate & Feed,當作這天的午餐。樓上賣麵包和廚房用品,照片看不到的樓下則是小小的餐廳。很幸運的,在客滿的餐廳裡,我們得到一個靠窗面海的座位。雖然依舊是吃冷硬的三明治配沙拉,但它的蝦子濃湯很好喝,沒有美國餐廳味道太重的問題發生。據餐廳裡的簡介所述,這棟百年老屋曾經是中國移民所開的洗衣房,牆壁上可以找到中國字以資證明。不知現在他們的後代都到哪裡去了?這排木造房屋的店,沒有我想像的有特色。不過就在一家童裝店前,我發現了這個紅頭啄木鳥門鈴。拉了底下的繩子,就會“扣扣“作響喔!好可愛,真應該到店裡面問說哪裡有得買呢!午後,我們繼續沿著20號轉525號公路往南開,往另一個位於島嶼東南角的小鎮Langley前去。據旅遊書所說,Langley應該是個獨立藝術家聚集的小鎮,鎮上滿是古董店和藝廊。跟著指標來到Langley,這也是個面海的小鎮。陽光乍現的週末午後,感覺非常悠閒與寧靜。比起漁村Coupeville給人粗獷的感覺,這裡的格調高一些。它的藝術氣息,可從隨處可見的雕像發現。一個面海的小展望台,有個帶著隻狗狗的人也像JY一樣眺望著遠方。這片海域,也是我們去年三月從西雅圖出發的賞鯨船的地方呢!其實,在美國住了這麼久,對於所謂藝術小鎮的期待已經不高。真正有特色的小店不多,大部分店裡賣的東西還是我們口中“河馬(Hallmark,一個賣大量製造卡片和MIC禮物的全國連鎖店)“等級的東西。Langley也不例外。店家門口的裝置藝術或是店招,才是真正有看頭的東西。像這家店門口,就有隻大耳朵的木製狗狗坐在同是木製的消防栓旁。隔壁的店還在裝修,所以店門口的狗狗雕塑就被戴了一頂工地帽。抬頭望,忘了這家店賣什麼東西,可是它有個刁著果子的烏鴉招牌。很有造型的風向儀,一看就知道這是消防隊的所在。這裡真的有特色的店,是一家開在西班牙風建築裡的古書古畫店。可是,都價格驚人。一張從19世紀古書拆下來的白冠麻雀彩色書頁,要價兩百多美金!雖然買不起,逛逛翻翻也很有意思。想像如果自己是個有錢人,家裡書房的牆上一定要掛上幾幅古書上的花、鳥畫。從Langley往渡船頭所在的Clinton已經不遠,在這裡搭上往本土的渡輪,大約20分鐘就會抵達對岸的Mukiteo。大概因為路程近,這裡的渡輪比起橫渡普吉灣的小一點。把車子停妥,上到甲板上吹風,看到船尾有些懶得自己飛過海的海鷗,沒付錢就來搭順風船。還抬頭看我,一副“有什麼問題嗎?“的表情。這樣一天的島嶼之旅,是很悠閒輕鬆的。可以到島上數個州立公園走走路,踏踏海灘,也可以到幾個小鎮吃吃東西逛逛街。不用像爬山般累得像條狗,而是隨意走走停停、吃吃喝喝。就像我之前所說的,島嶼旅行重點在於“自由“,這就是島嶼旅行迷人的地方啊!華盛頓州手札上一篇““
