George Dam in the Cascades, on way to Diablo Lake.
Lupine was lining the roadway. Along with the fragrance of wild roses, it was a beautiful ride.
Here comes Di, rolling along over the Skagit River.
If you could stand the cold, you could take a shower in this waterfall......
This was our destination as it is the only campground before the first two Cascade passes. As a result, we took a little more time to sight-see along the way. There was quite a bit of climbing today. The road was extremely rough, so bad the bike wouldn't have rolled if we had been going downhill. Once we made it to hwy. 2 it was better riding. We had two tunnels to go through today, one which was short. The longer one required us to push a button that would signal on both ends of the tunnel that there was a biker inside and to slow down to 35 mph. Like most tunnels, it was dripping water and with this being uphill it seemed like we were inside it for a long time (I'm sure it actually wasn't). The Grind's sent home a big box of items they now know they can live without. I'm also finding out just how bad of shape I am actually in!!
