September 28, 2022 Travel to Lake Stevens Washington

(Note and FYI:  Many of the travel pictures that I take are done at 60-70 mph out the front windshield or the side window in a very bouncy truck.  Some/many may not have clarity, however, I post them for me and for you so I can record what that part of the country looks like and for my memory.)

Another beautiful day in the Northwest.  We headed north into wine country.  There were vineyards and wineries for miles:

In 2008, we went over this pass in a snowstorm – it was scary!  It was a little cloudy and rainy today and did not seem as long as it did in 2008. LOL!

Off the mountain into the I-5 cities corridor – Yikees!
