This weekend, my wife and I drove down to the Bow-Edison area of Skagit county. From Bellingham, the most scenic route and a very direct route is to go through Fairhaven and then take Chuckanut Drive. I have lived in this area all my life and this is a place where you might say time has stood still. The changes in scenery are minimal compared to what I remember from my years visiting my relatives in Bow-Edison in the 1960's and even the late 50's. On the the way to Edison, in a field just past the Rhoddy Restaurant, we saw a couple of what my wife refers to as the "oreo cows." They really do look like oreo cookies. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith





Mr. Steven, tell your wife they are "Dutch Belted". Aren't they cool looking? I love cows, so I am always happy to see someone posting pictures of them.
