Today the weather was still kinda\nshitty so we decided to do some shopping. My elbow is still giving me\nsome trouble so driving and shopping are about the the only things I\ncan do. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We drove down the Skagit River to Burlinton which, along with Sedro Woolley and Mount Vernon, make up the three cities at the intersection of WA-20 and I-5. Once there, we pulled into a Camping World store to get some replacement stuff for our RV. We picked up some storage compartment door catches, four packages of deodorizer\/turd dissolver and a brand-new sewer hose which I’m sure will give me hours of entertainment while dumping the waste tanks in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tOn the way back we stopped at Skagit\nValley Burgers, a tiny joint built inside a caboose where they make\nwhat we consider to be the finest burgers anywhere. We were not\ndisappointed today; my western burger and Peggy’s blue cheese burger\nwere both great. My gimpy elbow had me attempting to eat the\nmonstrous, slippery delight with my left, untalented hand and without\nnapkins my shirt surely would have been ruined. We also picked up\nsome of their garlic french fries which are superb even though we\nboth stank of garlic for hours afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is difficult to avoid wandering about in the truck here. Everywhere we go, we find delightful scenery. Both the south and north sides of the river have uncrowded roads along the shoreline and we thoroughly enjoy merely cruising up- or downstream. We took the Lyman-Hamilton Highway (a siding next to WA-20) on the way back home visiting both towns notorious for flooding before upstream dams made inundation rarer. There are many houses along this route built over garages which have nothing but columns in them. Anything else stored therein is subject to water damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
