DAY 16

Day 16 was the day our northward adventure became an eastward adventure. We had to backtrack about 20 miles to get out of Bellingham, but it was very worth it. 

Highway 20 rolls through all of northern Washington, and what a highway it is. We experienced our first major tailwind as we started east. 

We rode through a long stretch known as the Skagit valley. It was real scenic but I did t get many pictures... Mmm and we stopped for dollar hot dogs.

At the end of the day we ended up at a beautiful privately owned primitive campground by the river. We used it to wash our clothes

And our dishes. 

I kept so close to the river that I thought my tent would roll into it in the night.
