I've ridden through Ft. Worden, but haven't camped there. It is a nice spot. Too bad you had a bad experience. I enjoyed Ft. Townsend and the Larry Scott Memorial Trail is a nice ride back to Pt. Townsend. Today I caught the Pt. Tpwnsend ferry again and rode to Ft. Flagler. It is very similar to Ft. Worden. I'll try a 24 hour there next year. Love Marrowstone Island (make sure to stop at the Nordland General Store). I'm sure I've ridden the hill you mention as I like to do day rides in the Pt. Townsend area. Let me know the next time you ride in the area (or ride on Whidbey Island).

Cheers!
