It is just after 10 AM and there are dozens of cars streaming in, waiting to enter the park. We were in one of the vehicles, and found our way to the Visitor... Continue Reading →

Day 71: Wallace River Hatchery, Sultan, WA Raining, cool. Heading East in the Cascades, we stopped in Skykomish. A lady was walking around town blowing bubbles in the rain, and there is a tiny train you can sit on and ride around for free.
