This time more things were open and active. Probably in January when the eagle are all there feasting on salmon it is a bit busy as well. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-69356870263999843352010-08-20T22:17:27.426-07:002010-08-20T22:17:27.426-07:00Well, I know about Mount Vernon, and Sedro Woolley...Well, I know about Mount Vernon, and Sedro Woolley, and what a Dolly Varden is, but I had to look up the town of Concrete, Washington, on Wikipedia.<br />Concrete, Washington, population 790.<br />The town at the northwestern junction of the Baker and Skagit Rivers was first named "Minnehaha" and then "Baker" and then "Cement City" and became "Concrete" in 1909.<br />I am glad to see someone recognized the need for hometown newspapers and has resurrected the old "Concrete Herald" although it seems the old newspaper building is still a liquor store. The ghosts of the oldtime newsmen might appreciate the humor in that.Kay Davieshttp://www.unfittie.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-78160251711399616332010-08-20T22:06:21.024-07:002010-08-20T22:06:21.024-07:00Really enjoying reading about your adventure.
