Hi Dave! At Sedro-Woolley the shelf is 18" wide, at Rocky Junction 13". There is a place between the switchback and Cokedale (no pictures yet) that is 28"...
Darryl, I'm at about the same height and on 18" wide as that is all the wife would let me have.. <VBG> I am also 6' 5" tall so reach is not really a...
