Cool Mountain River - North Fork of the Stillaquamish

North Fork of the Stillaquamish

Wed. I again made the drive up to Darrington.  What a mixed bag of weather, from torrential rain, to sunshine when I arrived at the road to our daughter & son-in-laws property.  Once there, the sunshine lasted part of the afternoon!  Long enough to walk the yard & garden to see what was happening with the flowers & shrubs.

On Sunday, there will be a trail walk/tour starting in Darrington for the people interested in working toward the completion of the Whitehorse Trail.   Most of the participants are members of the Snohomish/Arlington Trail Coalition, or locals who are spearheading the effort.  The Washington Trails Association has information about the proposed trail on their website too.  I've been pretty excited about the prospect of actually being able to ride from the park in Arlington all the way to Darrington, then cutting through a short section from the power lines to a old trail that follows SR 530 for a few miles to intersect the road our daughter lives on!  Of course I think I'd have Butch bring the horse trailer up for a ride home!  :-)
