The Skagit River is about the size of the Willamette River in Oregon. It rises at the foot of Mount Baker and empties its waters into the Sound through two channels. Just above the forks, ten miles from the Sound, there is a jam or drift which obstructs navigation, but with this obstruction removed it is thought that steamers can run up some eighty miles.
Any time, any amount, please help build our travel and research fund for what promises to be a very busy 2011, traveling to mine resources from California to Washington and maybe beyond. See many examples of how you can aid our project and help us continue for another ten years. And subscriptions to our optional Subscribers Online Magazine (launched 2000) by donation too. Thank you.
