Interior BC/Washington Trip

[Dave]

Hello fellow birders.

We have just returned from a 4 day camping/birding trip. We left CHWK and followed the coast (briefly for a few ocean birds/pipers) until we met Hwy #20 in Washington. We then enjoyed the North Cascades Highway #20 (Spent 1 night there) before joining Hwy #97 north to Oliver/OK Falls (Spent 2 nights there). We searched for Williamson's Sapsucker at known locations but failed to come home with a new life bird. We stopped at Manning Park for our last night.
