August 26-Home!

Image
We woke up to a beautiful sunny day at a gorgeous lake.  They do boat tours..oh so tempting but we resisted and did the responsible adult thing and packed up for the last time and headed home.  We got a good start and then stopped for breakfast at alittle old diner in the middle of nowhere, Sprague Washington.  We were the only clients other than an old timer regular.  He talked our ears off!  Kevan enjoyed the history lesson😊. Fueled the truck and we were off.  It was great seeing the mountains in Snoqualmie Pass and seeing familiar sites as we got closer to home.  We ended up driving straight through to home other than a quick stop at the top of the pass to stretch and fuel up.  We crossed into Canada at the Aldergrove border crossing.  Not one vehicle in front of us!  We were through in 30 seconds it was crazy!  But nice.  We were pretty hungry when we finally reached our home, but happy to eat camping leftovers in our kitc...

August 25-Coeur d’Alene

My chauffeur is turning into a hard core driving machine and making good time!  Gotta love those new tires😊. We stayed 45 minutes west of Billings Montana last night and decided we’d make a stab at getting to Idaho today.  We traveled through Bozeman, Butte and through beautiful Lolo National Park.  We were north of Lolo Pass, a favourite motorcycle ride for us we’ve done a few times with friends.  I was kinda sad we didn’t have time to unload the bike & ride it again.  Probably wouldn’t have been as much fun without Dave & Lori and Vic & Kristin anyways.  Next time!  We made it to Coeur d’Alene and had a nice evening there.  So many great things to do here to as we’ve stayed here a few times but home is calling.  Only one more state to go! Again this site drives me crazy with how it uploads pictures out of order.  This was the view coming into Coeur d’Alene  We had dinner at the floating restaurant  ...

Aug 23-24 Minneapolis to Bismarck North Dakota to Billings Montana

We are pretty much just driving every day to make our way home as quickly as possible so no time spent exploring.  Minneapolis to Bismarck ND wasn’t a very exciting drive either but we saw some nicer scenery the more west we go.  We saw a buffalo in western North Dakota: Wild horses in Eastern Montana. Campsite in Bismarck was quite nice Sorry about the dirty windshield shot...seeing hills! Oil rigs & round bales a common site Theodore Roosevelt National Park
