Tuesday, Sept. 18
Travel day today. St. Regis, MT to Moses Lake, WA. YES, Moses Lake! We had to stop in Spokane at an RV center to get a couple of things done to our trailer, so our arrival at the RV park was a bit late.
The notable part of the trip was driving through East Washington state. Much of it is part of the Columbia River Federal Restoration Project. When the poets and composers wrote of fields of grain, they must have been inspired by this land. The landscape is so unique. It is not flat like the midwest. The fields are rolling acres that have already been harvested and now are being plowed and cultivated for a new crop, maybe winter wheat. There are literally thousands of acres of land that create a vista that is UNREAL! I never had any idea of what the eastern part of Washington looks like. What a surprise. Unfortunately, no pictures because no opportunity to pull off the highway. Google maybe to find some images.
Tomorrow we will arrive at my college roommate’s home in Anacortes, WA. Sally and I have had so many great times together and such fun over 50 years. We have been fortunate to see each other quite often over the years, all because Sally and her husband Tom came East almost every year and Sally travels to Florida every year to visit her sister in Sarasota, while we are in Ocala. I hope to show John Vancouver and one or two of the San Juan islands.
