Samish Overlook




I wanted to wait until the tournament got underway before heading out but was concerned that by the time I found the viewpoint, the sun would have already set (assuming I could find the viewpoint at all). But it all worked out. The last mile was in several inches of two-day old snow and ice, but I still arrived 15 minutes before a great sunset over the San Juans. The panorama extended from the Cascades in the southeast to Lummi Island in the northwest.

I made it back to Mount Vernon High for the end of the first round. We stuffed the team with pizza and then, once the second round started, Michele and Kathy and I headed back up this direction (not quite so far or as high) to Bow for a great dinner at the Rhododendron Cafe.
