8/28/21 Traveled out of the Northern Cascades mountains today to the Anacortes Island, Washington on the Puget Sound. Weather was perfect, low to mid 60's and clear blue skies. 

Views below from the bridge at Deception Pass looking out to the Puget Sound. Interesting to note that this is the same river, the Skagit River, that ran past our campground in the Cascades. Fog off the cold water of Sound would roll in and out. Lots of fishing boats on the running tide. It was just picture perfect.

Roughly 120 miles off in the distance in the background is a view of Mt Rainier snow capped 14,400 ft peak.

Stopped for lunch at a roadside Shrimp Shack. Long line and even longer wait for the food, but worth it.

Wendy trying to get another stamp for her National Passport book, but unfortunately it had just closed. Admiralty Lighthouse built in the 1861 was decommissioned in the 1922.
