The North Cascades Highway

We've travelled on thousands of kilometres of road in this province. British Columbia is huge but there are, relatively speaking, very few highways here. So, past journeys mean we've already been to almost every place that is a comfortable two or three-day drive.

We find ourselves with a few days to spare and will, therefore, drive to Washington state again. A few weeks back we headed down I-5 to WA Route 20 and headed over to Port Townsend to catch a ferry to the peninsular. Today, we'll go back to Route 20 and travel eastward. Just a few weeks ago, the North Cascades Highway reopened after its annual closure for the winter.

The weather is not supposed to be very good but maybe it'll get drier when we get out to the semi-desert. We could try to stay near the Grand Coulee Dam. Then, we will also stay with the Thomas family on Wednesday night. We've not visited them for years!
