Got an early start, out by 7:15. Low clouds and cool. Second breakfast in Sedro Woolley. South Skagit highway to Concrete. Nice low traffic road but there was some road work going on and a bunch of gravel trucks. The Skagit river is quite a bit bigger than the Willamette and a lovely aqua green color. Also very fast moving.

Got a shower and setup my tent on the bank of the river. I could easily have gone much further today but this is a really nice spot and I saw no need to push it. Tomorrow the real climbing begins although I probably won't do the big passes until the day after. <br />
