Day 3 - Bellingham to Diablo Lake

Distance - 63.9 miles


This morning Joy (friend in Bellingham who let us stay at her house, thanks Joy) took our photographs for the article after we ate a champion's breakfast of doughnuts and fruit. After leaving the fun of Bellingham we set out to go to Diablo Lake, 1000 ft higher than our starting point. We passed the amazing town of Concrete, Washington, which was approximately 3 miles wide but had the largest welcome sign we've ever seen. The last 8 miles or so were all uphill, but we got to the lake and staked out a campsite. We got some amazing pictures of lake and mountains, and tomorrow we are climbing to the top of the pass.
