I left downtown Darrington at 6:30 AM and headed west on the Whitehorse trail to Swede Haven Rd and then began the climb up Forest Service Road 18 and headed north to Road 17 and then East out to Concrete Sauk Valley Road and then joined State Route 530 to get back to Darrington. Had a nice visit by an owl and almost a head-on with a oncoming, racing, Camero going 90+ while passing cars.
