ontheroad- Skagit-North Cascades

CONCRETE WA

As you leave Seattle and drive East into Skagit Co and the North Cascades, you first approach a town called CONCRETE. At one time its large wall of concrete semicircles was the largest concrete structure in the U.S. or the world and I believe they made concrete. Now it is all Sat. morning swap meets and flea markets. It is a scocial activity for them and the one we stopped at has music each week of some kind. There is a lunch truck that sets up at one end by some picnic tables. I saw an old couple and their enormously fat grown daughter eating grilled cheese sandwiches out of styrofoam containers; and I wondered if these sandwiches were the highlight of their week.
