We got up early this morning May 9th (Saturday) and hit the road. We had planned on leaving Friday, but got hung up with the satellite dish installation. The weather was beautiful so we decided to go on HWY 26 when we crossed the Columbia River at Vantage, WA. This is the highway that you would travel if you were heading to Pullman, WA to watch the "Cougars" play football. It takes you through Othello and some beautiful farm country. We turned right at Washtucna, WA and headed to Starbuck, WA. This is a bump in the road and we stopped to check out the famous old jail house. Yes, there was a little restaurant across from the jail that served coffee, just not Starbucks. We spent our first night at the Tucannon River RV Park which is about 55 miles west of Lewiston, ID. This is a very nice park right next to the Tucannon River, which is one of the few "wild and scenic" rivers left in Washington. We got to use the satellite dish for the first time and beamed in on all of the local channels out of Seattle. It was great!

Great to hear of your progress. It is snowing here and I am going skiing with Sheila and Patty. Karen and Sam and the Billy B. family went to the ranch with me after the memorial. Was a great healing time. Wild flowers were beautiful. Love the way you have organized your trip. Are you seeing many people in the campgrounds?
