After my mom and Tony left today, my friend Christie and I headed out for a walk. We hadn't walked together for quite some time now. We decided to drive up Highway 20 to catch part of the Cascade Trail that goes from Sedro Woolley to Concrete. We parked in Lyman across from the post office, and headed west on the trail there. It was gorgeous. The trail here runs right along the Skagit River, and in a couple of places there are nice little sandy beaches and waterways all shaded with trees. Parts of it are also like the port trails, just long areas covered in a canopy of deciduous trees. But to look out and see the mountains so close was pretty cool. We spotted this Common Merganser pair heading down the river in one area. They seemed to not be too worried that we were near them. We also saw a red-breasted sapsucker today, but I couldn't get a picture before it flew away. It was pretty cool to see, though, with its bright red head and spotted body. Days like today make me remember how lucky I am to be living in such a beautiful area. We walked about 2.6 miles today. Here's our route: http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/714963
