Winthrop, Leavenworth and Beyond

Off again in our RV. 31 ft of fun filled adventure. We left Everett around noon and made our way north up I-5 to Burlington and wound our way east past small rural towns down through gulls and up hills reaching the towns of Sedro-Woolley and Concrete.

The terrain grew steeper after that and windier as we drove, bounding off of the green majestic hills of the North Cascade National Park. The Mountains loomed before us like slumbering giants covered in thin snowy blankets. The Evergreens towered high above clinging to the face of the menacing cliffs. We stopped only twice on the trip in to Winthrop once at the Seattle City light town of Newhalem and then at a lookout overlooking the Diablo Dam. Those stops were blessed. Carly and I got a little car sick from all the jostling should be better tomorrow though as we are staying here for a day before heading to Leavenworth.

Here are some shots that I took with my new Canon Rebel T1i:












We arrived in the Town of Winthrop around 4 in the afternoon. The sun was brightly shinning and the town charming with its rustic Wild West setting. The boardwalks stretched out in front of the storefronts inviting visitors to wonder off of the dusty streets and into the shops. We did not stop as we wanted to get to our campground so we could pitch tent (as it were) at the local KOA.

As KOAs go it's pretty typical, parking lot style full hookup sites, pool, free WiFi, and pricey. This should be a fun trip.

Tomorrow we go into Winthrop to have a right good old time.

See you are later this week,
I will post more soon,
