After our oil change it was a really short drive to Riverfront Park in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. It is a great little city park near the Skagit River. The town is billed as "The Gateway to the Northern Cascades."
Bob and I spent the next few days walking Cascade Trail and finding geocaches. Connie and Larry joined us on Wednesday and we finalized our crossing plans.
Of course, there was time to play before we left on Friday morning. Larry has a new toy that he wanted to show to Bob. The campground was a great place to show off its features! Yes, it is a drone. The piece below the body is a camera so Larry takes pictures of campgrounds and other things.
The flowers in northern Washington are still in bloom. The rhododendrons are every color imaginable! They are everywhere you look.
Our last day in Sedro-Woolley, we went for a drive. Our first stop was Nooksack Northwoods Casino near the town of Lynden. We exchanged American dollars for Canadian dollars at the exchange rate of 83 cents per Canadian dollar. This trip the exchange rate is better than our trip five years ago when it was par.
After getting our looneys and tooneys we headed back to the coast to the Chuckanut Drive. It is Washington 11 that goes from Fairhaven south to Burlington. The drive is along the sound with some good views. We stopped at Larrabee State Park to walk to the beach.
It is a pretty area and I would like to visit it again some day.
But, our Alaska Adventure is continuing.....time to cross into Canada!
