A reporter at the Skagit Valley Herald is looking to do a story about cycling the North Cascades Highway as this year's plowing is almost complete and before it opens to motorists. The reporter, Emma Fletcher Frasier, is interested in speaking with anyone who might be doing the ride this year. The highway is expected to open to cars around Mother's Day. If you are planning, or thinking about, doing this ride and would like to speak to Emma, she can be reached at 360.982.3207
