Particulars:  Howard Miller Steelhead Park is a beautiful campground on the banks of the Skagit River.  With only a few RV's in the area, we had the park to ourselves.  We had not cell phone service, but we did have WiFi thanks to the tavern just across the road.

Interesting People Along the Way:  After Hannah was asked to leave the tavern, we headed back to the campground.  The men stayed behind and apparently one of the customers bought drinks for the house.  Not sure if we are to believe what we were told about this generous patron--he lives under a bridge?

Right next to our campsite was a wonderful playground.  Wich there had been some more kids around, but Hannah did get some coorperation from her parents on the swings, rock wall, and spider web.
