The morning started off slow. Leslie’s knee was hurting along with both of our muscles and hip joints. The reminders of a tough hike. Once we got up and moving we decided to drive into Sedro Woolley for some Mexican food. We went to the Tequila Aztec restaurant. It was good, fresh Mexican but lacked in heat. So David asked if they had any hotter salsa. The waiter went back to the kitchen and came back with a salsa that tasted like he had just dumped a bunch of hot sauce in the bland salsa. From there, we went back to the Wanderer, picked up Etta, and headed into the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. There was a short trail called the Shadow of the Sentinels that goes through some old growth Douglas Fir trees. Etta was happy to get out on the trail again and enjoyed the walk (0.5 miles, 20 feet of elevation, 166 calories burned). Following our walk, we drove the road around Baker Lake until the end of the road before heading back to the Wanderer. The rest of the evening was spent prepping for the next days drive and trying to finish our North Cascades puzzle (and failing). We had to figure a way to transport it without taking it apart completely. It was too hard to have gotten as far as we did. David came up with a brilliant idea to wrap the coffee table in plastic wrap. Why not try it!?!
