On to the Pacific Coast

We left Montana early Friday morning in anticipation of seeing Idaho and planned to have lunch in Coeur D’Alene, but only managed a picture of the beautiful marina.

The last few miles of Idaho into Washington were killer for the camper because of poor roads and constant construction. I got so tired of going straight up and straight down. Columbia River Basin was impressive.

We got the last spot at a nice campground in Moses Lake. Carman wanted to ride the water slide, but you had to be under 5 feet tall.

The ride from Moses Lake to Black Diamond and Lake Sawyer was an adult roller coaster ride in a motorhome. The pass was only 2300 feet, but the road went straight down, no per cent of grade was shown; this is I-90? In some places the road was so rough that if I hadn’t had things so tightly latched, we’d have all sorts of things flying around. On the flat, the wind made me crazy, so going up and down mountains was a relief. Our campground is on Lake Sawyer. There were lots of people out enjoying the amenities. Flowers here are eye-popping.

We had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Kent. The downtown mall was similar to ABQ Uptown.
