We rolled in on Thursday evening about 8:00. Tuesday night we stayed in Deer Lodge Montana and we had definitely left the summer weather in the rear view mirror. The rivers in Montana were at the highest levels that we have ever seen. The Yellowstone and the Clark Fork were running high, wide, and muddy. And, there is still lots of snow in the mountains.
On Wednesday we stayed in Post Falls Idaho. Nothing exciting there. The weather was deteriorating even more, as it poured rain that evening. We headed out Thursday morning around 10:00 and made a stop in Moses Lake to visit with snow bird friends Mike and Joyce. We had a nice lunch and visit at their house before heading off on the final leg of this journey around 4:30. The plan was to miss the rush hour traffic coming in to Seattle, but we still hit stop and go traffic on Mercer Island!
Tomorrow (Sunday) we are headed off to Oregon with Ron and Jan to spend the day and overnight at The Oregon Gardens. We have never been there before, but Ron and Jan have, and say that it's very nice. So it's up at the crack of dawn to hit the road again. This time I get to be a passenger, as Ron will be doing the driving. That's going to seem a little odd.
When we get back, we will download pictures and recap the past 3 weeks................Ernie
