How did you like the resort? Did Birch Bay have one of their amazing super-low tides while you were there?

The resort was nice, Dave - thanks for asking! By the way, I thought I would add some info in the thread on WorldMark Birch Bay about our stay as well...
I'm not sure if they had one of their super low tides during our stay but I was amazed just how far out the tide went during the low tide cycle. One morning, we walked out into the bay quite a away and we were still in dry land and continued to go even further out and never got in water much above our knees. As we turned to head back in, we were surprised how far out we had wandered. We took our time coming back in with the tide and watched it slowly engulf one exposed area after another. It was quite a tranquil morning as this was well before the 4th of July (and not so many people there at that time).
Boy did the 4th of July bring about a different scene!

Great to hear. I used to live about a mile down the Birch Bay-Lynden Road from the beach there. Things have become more developed since then, but it's still a great place to get away.

The 4th gets VERY busy out there. Being so close to the Border, a lot of Canadians come south, especially since Canada Day is July 1st. Then a lot of Americans head north for the 4th, and they all converge on Birch Bay. When I was a kid living in Bellingham, going to Birch Bay in Summer was a major deal for us - it was our little piece of resort paradise. When the waterslides opened, it was like our own theme park.

Did you get a chance to wander through the State Park right there? It's a really nice place in Summer.
