We Made It -- Washington State!

It took driving through three states to do it, but we've finally made it back to Washington State. Okay, it's not as bad as it sounds -- the panhandle of Idaho can't be more than a hundred miles across!

It was mostly mountain driving today, the foothills of the Rockies along the Clark Fork River --


There's some pretty rugged rocks along Interstate 90 --


And some with gorgeous colors --


I lost count of how many times we crossed the Clark Fork as it winds its way along. I'm sure we crossed it more than a dozen times!


We finally saw the last of Montana. I was so glad to see the Welcome to Idaho sign. And even happier to see the little sign that said we were now in the Pacific Time Zone!


Would you believe I MISSED the Welcome to Washington sign?! We were so busy pointing out landmarks to each other, I forgot to pick up the camera in time... ;-(

With the gain of an hour with the time zone, we were able to pull into Ponderosa Falls RV Park a little after three thirty. With our KM membership, we only had to pay the $2 per day electricity charge for our two week stay.

Those two weeks will be busy. I have been able to make all of our appointments for doctor visits, eye exams, dental visits, haircuts and massages! It seemed to be good timing for everything as there were either openings or cancellations that would fit us in everywhere. Now we just need to get a clear date for our AHEC gathering!

  1. You're home! We will be making the same trek in a month or 6 weeks. Loved your pictures reminding me of the drive through Montana. Happy days!
