Day 2 - 8 June, Sunday Mt Vernon, WA - Concrete, WA (35 Miles)

     Today I planned for a shorter day.  Yesterday I spent too many hours on the bike.  The ride was nice .  The weather was a little cooler than yesterday but very comfortable for biking.  I followed the Skagit River for most of the ride.  The Skagit River is very wide and a lot of water is moving with a pretty good current.
     The campground that I stopped at is called Eagle Nest Motel and RV Campground.  When I checked in for a campsite the manager said that the facilities were out of order so he would give me a room key to use the restroom and shower.  Not bad for $10....I am camping right on the Skagit River.  They have a gazebo to put my bike under in case of rain and a fire pit with wood.  The forcast does say a chance of rain tonight.


                               Break for a Protein Bar next to the Skagit River



                                                               It is Sunday

    Tom,
    It looks like you are traveling through some beautiful country. What a great way to clear one's mind. I was trying to figure out where you would fit a bottle of propane on the bike! I hope you are having a spectacular experience. We are all living vicariously through you! Keep the rubber side down and enjoy.

    Kurt

    Nice job Tom, you've made real progress. you need to pick better towns to stay in rather than "Concrete". I suggest "Beer, WA", or "Margarita, WA". just sayin.

    Hey Tom, good luck we'll be thinking about you all the way. When you get to Michigan next month let me know which cities you'll be stopping at. I'll DRIVE to you.
