Back To The West...

_7 June ‘09 Sunday

When you live your life on “Wheels”, you have the right to change directions and revise your plans.  Well that’s just what we’ve done.  Our plans were to keep heading north and east, but we decided to make a left turn and head west to Seattle.  I would imagine that others that “Full Time” have had to see a doctor or two while on the road.  Well, that’s what we’ve had to do.  The problem was we could never find the “solution”.  It finally came down to the fact that for us to feel comfortable we should see “our” doctors in Seattle. 

Putting the cruise control at 57 we drove I-90 most of the way.  We’ve never driven more than 350 miles in one day but on this trip we found our 2nd day doing 534.  It wasn’t that I wanted to push it that far, it just was an easy drive and we had a tail wind the whole day.  The first 3 nights were spent in Wal-Mart parking lots and then a campground in Bozeman before a couple nights in Coeur d’Alene.  We did take a couple of hours to visit Livingston, Montana…I really don’t know why we pulled off the highway, but we did.  I guess it was because we’ve passed it by many times and it just “called”.  We were both wonderfully surprised by Livingston, the architecture, the people, and MONTANA…  Just walking the streets of the town,

_checking out the little businesses, the old buildings with wonderful styling, and finding a “brewery”.  Yep, we found Neptune’s Brewery.  It was small in stature and confined in an old house, but it had everything going for it.  Louise and I both enjoy a good IPA and they had one.  The two guys that owned and ran the brewery made us feel right at home.  Besides having great beer, they also have a very interesting food menu from which we ordered an appetizer of Pork Wasabi Balls with Blue Chips to go with our IPA’s.  Our stop in Coeur d’Alene was routine. As always, our choice for campground was River Walk RV Park, early morning breakfast and lunch at Franklin’s Hoagies, a visit with Larry and Pauline, and spend as much time as we can with Joelle, Amy, Trevor, and Randy.

On Sunday we packed up and moved to Spokane.  Louise’s mother Lois was spending her 93rd birthday

_with family in Spokane and we wanted to join in, so we parked the coach in John’s driveway and chatted the day/night through.  Late Monday afternoon we arrived at our campground in Fall City.

_Tall Chief is our “home” campground with the Western Horizon group that we joined in early 2006.  We’ll be here for at least 5 weeks before we move on.  Saturday, we joined some more of Lou’s family

_Most of the jet skis were sponsored by the factories and the hydroplanes were those that you see racing around the country.  We had a great day, got a little wet, ate and drank a little, and were ready to call it quits when the last checked flag was flown.

This maximum time happens when you are not with your family but with your friends. Then you can do all these stuffs. You have no plan about your traveling destinations and it is actually a fun.
