You can also hitch to Winthrop which is kind of a funky, old-west style
town, east from Rainy Pass.  A bunch of us ended up there in late '07 when
those big snow storms hit. Might be a better place to send your passport if
you don't want to carry it in the rain from skykomish and are leery of
trusting it to the Stehieken boat-mail service.  As I recall the boat to
Chelan is spendy...


YITOOD,

Easy
