You'll never believe it! For the first time since we left Wisconsin, we woke up to a blue sky! Yay, Wallace! It was so pretty we decided to take a little walk around town before we left. It's a very cute little place with lots of flowers everywhere. We read a little memorial plaque along Main St. about the guy who saved the town. Apparently they wanted to put I-90 right straight through it many years ago. This guy fought it with all his heart and soul and in an eventual compromise, they elevated the highway to go over it instead of through it. What one person can do...
It wasn't long after we left Wallace that morning, that Washington (finally!) greeted us...with a smoky haze. So much for the blue sky. Spokane, WA was awful. Visibility was poor and you could actually smell the smoke which we really didn't before. We kept going west to the city of Grand Coulee and it didn't get much better. We were really concerned when the owner of the RV park where we were staying, wore a full face mask taking us to our site. They were so tired of it, I felt bad for them. Sure hope we don't have this our whole trip, but we'll see.
Our new RV site was one of the ugliest we've ever stayed in. Ha ha. In all fairness, they did tell us they only had one site left, and that's usually not a good thing. Not complaining here though, because while it was ugly, it was also the most convenient. We faced directly into the Laundromat and were adjacent to the dumpsters and propane station. Good news is we got all our laundry done, topped off the propane tank and kept a clean house. Life is good.
Off to the Grand Coulee Dam tomorrow!
Happy trails🎵🎵
