Weird weather today. March has lived up to its reputation in coming in like a lion. I hope it goes out like a lamb...When I woke up, it was quite bright out; the sun was shining. By the time my friend Christie and I headed out for breakfast and a walk a little after 10, we drove through snow for a bit. An hour later, the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. We had a great walk on the CascadeTrail out of Sedro Woolley, 1.5 miles out and back, for a total of 3 miles in just over an hour. Good pace! The Cascade Trail is built on an old railroad line, and runs from Sedro Woolley to Concrete, over 22 miles. It crosses 23 railroad trestles, too, but we haven't seen those yet.
The section we walked on today passed by a llama farm. It was pretty neat to be so close to them, but not so close as to be spit upon! The llamas in this picture appeared to be quite young, and were very curious as we walked by. They all started heading in our direction when I stopped for a picture. From what I have read, one section of the trail we walk through goes past an area known for its elk herds. That will be something to see. At some point we will have to take two cars with us, so we don't backtrack on the trail. The trail is a multiuse trail, so it is suitable for bikes, walking, and horses. In fact, two horses and their riders passed us today on the trail.
We stopped and had breakfast at the Iron Skillet in Sedro Woolley today before our walk. If you are in the area, I highly recommend it. It's a legend in Sedro Woolley. All in all, great day, great walk!Here's the route: http://www.trimbleoutdoors.com/ViewTrip/638202
