Mt. Constitution, Moran State Park - Orcas Island, Washington
This video showcases some amazing views on top of Mt. Constituion in Moran State Park on Orcas Island, Washington.
Mount Constitution Hike
June 10, 2012. Moran State Park, Orcas Island, Washington. Our day started early on the ferry from Anacortes, then off to the trailhead. There are many places one could hike here, we chose to start at a trailhead on Mt Constitution Rd, about a mile past the Mountain Lake turnoff, elevation approximately 1100 feet.
A hike through a scenic forest led us to expansive views of islands and ocean and eventually we arrived at the summit of Mount Constitution and its tower, the highest point in the San Juan Islands. Here we took a nice break and enjoyed the view. Many people choose to drive here but we feel the hike is far more rewarding.
On the way back we stopped off at Summit Lake, Cold Springs, Little Summit, and then hiked back down the road. Overall I estimate we hiked about 8 miles with about 1500 feet of elevation change. Amongst other interesting sights we saw newts in the lake, and a very large anthill near Little Summit.

Moran State Park - Washington state park - Orcas Island , USA
Moran State Park is a Washington state park located on Orcas Island encompassing over 5,000 acres (2,000 ha)[2] of forest, much of it old growth. It is the largest public recreation area in the San Juan Islands. Mount Constitution (elevation 2,409 feet (734 m)) is a focal point of the park. A road and hiking trails lead to the top of the mountain and a 360-degree view of the region's mountain and marine geography. An observation tower, built in the 1930s, is patterned after the 12th-century Caucasian towers.[3]
The land for Moran State Park was donated to the state in 1921 by Seattle mayor and shipbuilder Robert Moran.[2] Due to poor health, Moran moved to Orcas Island and between 1906 and 1909 built his estate, naming it Rosario. Wood and stone material found on the island were used to construct the estate's houses and buildings. The former Moran estate is privately operated as Rosario Resort and Spa and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5] The Rosario mansion features a museum honoring Robert Moran, complete with original furnishings. The mansion's music room is home to a 1913 34-rank Aeolian pipe organ and 1900 Steinway grand piano, both of which are still played for visitors today. The Civilian Conservation Corps built many of the park's trails, roads, bridges, and buildings during the 1930s.[2] more info

Stop and identify statutes
Stop and identify statutes are laws in the United States that authorize police to detain persons and request such persons to identify themselves, and arrest them if they do not.
The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights that prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and requires any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968) established that it is constitutionally permissible for police to temporarily detain a person based on reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, and to conduct a search for weapons based on a reasonable belief that the person is armed. The question whether it is constitutionally permissible for the police to demand that a detainee provide his or her name was considered by the U.S. Supreme Court in Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada, 542 U.S. 177 (2004), which held that the name disclosure did not violate the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures. The Hiibel Court also held that, because Hiibel had no reasonable belief that his name would be used to incriminate him, the name disclosure did not violate the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination; however, the Court left open the possibility that Fifth Amendment right might apply in situations where there was a reasonable belief that giving a name could be incriminating. The Court accepted the Nevada supreme court's interpretation of the Nevada statute that a detained person could satisfy the Nevada law by simply stating his name. The Court did not rule on whether particular identification cards could be required, though it did mention one state's law requiring credible and reliable identification had been struck down for vagueness.
