Here's my WTA report of our New Years Eve day hike at Little Mountain Park up in Mount Vernon. But before the hike, we had breakfast at the Train Wreck Bar & Grill in Burlington. It's one of the best dining and drinking places in that area. I had a smoked turkey chimichanga with two eggs over easy on the side. #outside #outdoors #hiking #PNW #WTA #SkagitValley #MountVernon
