      It's because he colorizes the video like adding more blue to make the blue fresh water look like the blue of the ocean, it's not real and I wish he wouldn't do it.

    Did you get to see the herd of thousands of rabbits running loose at the resort directly across the highway from the church? I'm so glad you are making this loop. This is probably my most favorite road trips in all of WA state. The road up to Mt Baker and hiking on the mountain is great too, but not for this particular trip. Maybe another. I wonder if they still give tours of Ross dam? You'll pass by it in your next video. They boat you across the lake up to the base of the dam and you get to go on a tour inside. Maybe for security reasons they no longer do that. Times have changed. I know you're going to just love this trip. You already are. Happy trails!

    A suggestion for another one of your trips. Adventure cycling sells maps for bicyclists that take you through the back roads and off the freeways. We used them as much as we could on our trip from Maine to Anacortes Washington. I would love to backtrack that route in a car.

    I bicycled through that tunnel at the end of a two month bicycle ride with a friend, going from Portland Maine to Anacortes. We carried our camping gear on our bicycles but ended up staying in motels quite a bit towards the end. We were feeling pretty weatherworn. The Cascade Mountains were harder than the Rockies. So think of us when you drive down the other side going towards Winthrop---think of two older women cycling up that pass. I was 58 years old.

    My experience of North Cascades NP was that they had short trails and LONG, killer trails with little in between. In this instance, you may not have missed too awfully much unless you became a serious hiker overnight. However, my idea of a "killer" hike may be someone else's "moderate"
    I like your videos because they are like postcards or movie trailers. They don't show us all the wonderful places, just enough to make us want to see more. You shall spend a day but you have given us enough to dream of going for longer to some of the places you have seen. Recovering from knee replacement now and stuck in an RV park using your videos, and the videos of others, to add to our bucket list. Hubby and I have added the Lincoln Highway to our list, thanks to some of your earlier episodes.
