Liberty Lake – Spokane County Park – Tuesday June 7, 2016

We are in site RV13 on a warm day, 94.  Will be here one night, not a bad place when nobody is here. The rock parking spots are 13 feet apart.  Our large slide is taking up 2 feet of our neighbor’s 13 feet.

Update:  We will never stay here again the sites all steep and the people who stay here are urban idiots.  Two groups who came in after us acted surprised they would have to pay for their site, the sign on the camp host site said “Off Duty”. I think they both planned on leaving early the next morning before the host was “On Duty”.  One group had two additional cars come in just before dark and both cars left at 6:30 a.m. and the original campsite owner left at 7:00 a.m.   The restrooms were cleaned in the morning however he left puddles in the men’s side that looked about an inch deep.

Wanapum State Park, WA – Sunday May 15, 2016

Here is today’s drive, in site 8 will add campsite picture later.

Both Jean and I commented today that it was nice to be back out on the road.  We will be moving East with the goal of being at Yellowstone Natl Park on Monday May 23rd.  We cannot get there early because we already have reservations for two weeks and that is the max time at Madison Campground. 

Seems warmer on this side of the mountains with a few sprinkles this afternoon.  At 8:30 this evening it started to RAIN so it might be a “Listen to the rhythm of the falling Rain” kind of night.

Campsite 8.

Looking out towards the Columbia.

Fishing – Friday September 18, 2015


This is the last of my trout fishing for 2015.  I got these at Lake Morton this morning.  The large one weighed in at one pound.  These are amazing fish when you consider when I was a kid the fish around here were all in 7 to 8 inch range.

This weekend we are going to see Brian in his lead role as Sweeney Todd at the Renton Civic Theatre Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Monday we will leave heading south until Thanksgiving.  The first major stop will be Lake Tahoe for a weekend with Richard and Vicki and then we’ll move on toward Roswell and Carlsbad Caverns.
Stay tuned.
