Discovery 公园城市远足 / Into the Wild, 20 Minutes from Downtown
如果不是因为劳动节假期计划得太晚，热门的目的地不论是航线还是酒店，不是售罄就是太贵，我们也不会选择距离市中心20分钟车程的Discovery Park作为说走就走的目的地。
Were it not for that we planned too late for this Labor Day, Discovery Park wouldn’t be our first choice.
从南停车场出发，往西走一小段，就能看到这个球体。据了解，这里曾是军事基地，这个像高尔夫球一样的球体是一个军用球型雷达，于1963年被遗弃。
We started from the South Parking Lot, and this “golf ball” was the first thing that came into our sights. It was a FAA tower that “relocated from McChord Air Force Base in 1960”, and “abandoned by the Air Force in 1963 and turned over to the FAA”.
继续向西，到达一个观景点，能看到普吉特湾的景色。
As we headed west, we arrived at a view point with a nice view of Puget Sound (northern extent of Elliot Bay).
On our way along the South Beach Trail to the West Point Lighthouse, a glimpse of the Sound through trees.
A backward look at the trail.
经过长途跋涉（其实也就大约40分钟），终于到了公园最西端的灯塔。
Finally reached the destination of the journey — West Point Lighthouse.
最后准备离开的时候，最后一班shuttle的队伍恰好在我们之前满员，于是我们不得不再用将近一个小时的时间回到停车场😂
Unfortunately, the line for the last shuttle cut off right before us. We had no choice but to spend another hour on our way back to the parking lot.
最后上几张合照和彩蛋
