I somehow deleted the may 10 post so have added it here
We caught the 5:15 ferry, made it to the border by 8am and were happy not to have the trailer searched. It can cause quite a delay.
Stopped for groceries at Haggen’s in Bellingham then headed over Steven’s Pass to the Wenatchee River County R V park.
It is a very nice park, paved sites with lots of grassy spaces between units.
We were lucky to score a riverfront site.
After a short nap we had some wine and then I cooked some Maui ribs for dinner.
May 11
We got a pretty good night's sleep at Wenatchee, just a few loud trains going by.
There was a bit of thunder and some rain but by the time we pulled out the weather was good again.
It is a 4 1/2 hour drive to Couer de Alene.
It went smoothly, nice scenery changing from the Columbia River Valley to miles of rolling farmland then climbing into pine forests near Spokane and Idaho.
We stopped in Ritzville for lunch and gas .
Another of those sad towns that were once booming but now in decay. Nice houses with big verandas but downtown is pretty bleak. A few grain elevators and closed shops.
We used the GPS to find a Fred Meyer in Couer d' Alene, quite near our RV park .
Karen likes their clothing selection and we needed more groceries.
The trailer fridge doesn't hold a lot and I don't think we will find any stores in Yellowstone Park so we are trying to get a few meals stocked up.
We found our RV park easily, Blackwell Island RV.
Nice and clean, next to a river and it has good free WiFi.
Weather slightly overcast but still warm at 25°.
Lamb sliders for dinner tonight.
