Now, since we were back in Anacortes and all the way up north in Washington, we couldn't help ourselves and pointed the Jeep east to North Cascades National Park. We drove highway 20 through NCNP by gorgeous Diablo Lake and then through the Methow Valley to Winthrop, Wednesday night's campsite.
Thursday morning, we awoke to rain on the tent and three ducks quacking around outside. We fueled up with cinnamon rolls in downtown Winthrop, which by the way, is all done up like an Old West town. Great and weird all at the same time. We then headed south toward Oregon.Evening view from Pearrygin Lake State Park campground.
And, since we were so close, we took a small detour into Leavenworth, which by way, is all done up like a Bavarian village. Again, great and weird all at the same time. (P.S. We saw no less than five Husker fans in and out of the Leavenworth shops. GBR!) Then came lunch in Yakima after driving through more apple orchards than we could even count. I think all of the apples of the world come from the Yakima valley and by golly, I think I'm right.
We rolled into Portland around six tonight and started the long process of unpacking and drying out gear. Another adventure completed. What to plan next?
