Last night I camped in a little community park just outside of Omak. Just me and a couple of homeless people. A 50+ year old guy who says he is an ex-marine and just waiting for some sort of vet-related payoff so he can get a place to rent. Seems a bit doubtful to me but he was a nice enough guy and had an adorable little dog. And a 72-year old woman living out of her truck and working at the local food bank. Both of them have been there for a month or more, although the signs says there's a 72-hour limit for campers. Hope they find better digs before winter.
I stopped for a couple of hours of hiking in North Cascades National Park yesterday, the Thunder Dome trail. Glad for the exercise but I did not see Mel Gibson or Tina Turner, and it just wasn't very scenic except for a great view of Diablo lake at the very end. There's a much better view about 10 minutes on up the road.
Maybe it was Thunder Knob. But I like the dome thing better.
Just finished breakfast in Tonasket WA, heading on towards Republic and Colville, then probably up into Canada. In 2010 I rode this route. Hard to believe. Mountain passes: Rainy, Washington, Loup Loup, Wauconda, Sherman.
