Hello Again,
Phil and Mike's excellent adventure continued today after we got on the ferry at Friday Harbor and headed back to the mainland. Once we landed in Anacortes we headed East towards the Washington cascade loop on Hwy 20. This is a beautiful ride and you have to take advantage of it when the road is open because it closes in the winter due to large snowfalls. We stopped in Winthrop for the afternoon and decided to stay the night. Winthrop is a small town of about 300 permanent residents that is a great tourist stop and summer and winter vacation land. After having a coffee and an ice cream at the corner candy store that features horse saddles for seating, we toured the town. Before long it was time to start searching for a place to stay. After looking at three fleabag motels we decided to bite the bullet and rent a cabin with two bedrooms, a kitchen,living room, deck over the river and a hot tub. See the photos. Dinner was in an old hotel and was quite good.
Tomorrow we will head down to Leavenworth Washington and tour the alpine village. Then it is on to home. Attached are a few photos of our trip over the mountains, it was such a nice ride it was difficult to stop and take pics. I decided to put the camera around my neck and take some that way. A few of them turned out ok. So far the weather has been fantastic and you couldn't ask for more. Hope you are all well, see you soon. Ride safe,
Mike
