Bonners Ferry to West Glacier. Again a very beautiful drive thru the panhandle of Idaho. It followed the Kootnei river, where we stopped to look at the falls. They are a class 6+, visited by kayakers from all over the world.
On to West Glacier to set up camp.

Pleasant surprise. Got in touch with Rene and family, currently on Flathead Lake. They were free for the evening so we met in Bigfork, MT for dinner and the local theater production of Singing in The Rain. It was fun to see then again and especially Dawson and Elize, whom we missed during our brief visit to Juneau.

Wenatchee to Blue Lake Campground, just shy of Bonners Ferry Idaho. Great drive thru the wheat country of eastern Washington. Wheat was about half harvested, saw several fields with the combines working and trucks waiting to take the bounty to the elevator. Blue Lake was a great place. A new couple just bought it and was fixing it up nicely. They had a private lake with stocked, catch and release fish.

Left Bothel and headed over Stevens Pass. Had not been there for several years. Stopped briefly at the ski area and then in Leavenworth. They both have grown and expanded greatly since we were last there. On to Wenatachee and the state park. We had stayed here before, but this time what a dissappointment. The electric was minimal, could not run the A/C and it was over 100 out side.

Took a side trip to Crescent Bar, where we used to own a park model. BOY has it grown. Several condos have been built, all the rv's are now expanded park models or more. Tried to look up some of our old neighbors to no avail.
The prices of the places are also out of sight. Should have kept ours longer.

Luckily it cools off at night so sleeping was tolerable.

Went to Camping World, got the new toilet install and it works great. They could not do the awning for a week or two to left the area. Got as far as Bothel and the Lake Pleasant RV Park. A really nice place on a private lake. We were lucky to get the last slot. Called some friends, Andy and Gladys Anderson and had dinner with them.

Relaxing and moving day. Relaxing from the trip and helping to move the furniture from Myron's rooms. He is having the floors refinished with the Swedish coating, so everything has to be moved.

All the laundry is done and put away. Dog is picked up and reaquainted with us and the coach. We are ready to hit the road after some repairs tomorrow morning.

Here we are in Puyallup and back in the coach. We were able to get on the flight home on airline passes, what a relief. Now to empty the suitcases and catch up on the dirty clothes. Saturday is mainly a catch up day. More boxes of mail have arrived along with bills, Yuck.
