Lana's Ride to Oscar the Bird King

Event date: 
Sun, 07/13/2025 - 9:00am

Lana's ride to the July challenge, Oscar the Bird King on Vashon Island.


Please RSVP, as this ride includes a restaurant with a reservation. 


Come explore some of the roads on Vashon Island, meet Oscar the Bird King, and check out the Point Robinson Lighthouse. 
This will be a short ride, only 67 miles, but with the ferry rides, it will be an all-day adventure. 
This ride includes two ferry rides: the first departs from the Southworth dock, traveling to Vashon, and the second departs from Vashon, traveling to Point Defiance.  We will leave the shop at 9:30 a.m. and ride up to the Southworth ferry dock for the 10:50 a.m. sailing.  This is about a 40-minute boat ride.  Once we arrive on Vashon, we will explore some of the roads on the way to lunch at The Hardware Store Restaurant. Please bring cash for the restaurant, as they won't split checks for parties larger than six people. If you look up the restaurant menu, they will be serving from the brunch menu.  From there, we will go to meet Oscar at Point Robinson. After exploring the park and the lighthouse, we will then head to the Tahlequah ferry dock, where we will end the ride.

The ferry leaves the Tahlequah dock for Point Defiance at 1 pm, 2:20 pm, and 3:10 pm. I would expect to be able to make the 2:20 sailing for Point Defiance.
