The last two days have been traveling days. Our goal is to get to Olympic National Park in northwestern Washington. Tuesday night we found a place to camp that afforded us with amazing sunset views as we sat on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho.
Last night we ended up on another lake, Lake Roosevelt, which was formed by the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam. We stayed at the Spring Canyon Campground, run by the National Park Service; it is beautifully maintained with lots of recreational opportunities.
Although most of our travels have been smooth, there were a few bumps on the road lately. Our comfy air mattress has sprung a leak, so we have been trying to sleep in the other areas of the RV. None are as nice as our pull out sofa, so we looked into getting a new mattress, which is under warranty. Unfortunately, it would take 7-10 days to ship it to a city out here that has a Winnebago dealer…and those cities are not exactly where we want to go! So, we bit the bullet and bought a new air mattress at Cabela’s yesterday. I’d like to tell you that we had a great night’s sleep on it last night, but user error (Bill’s, of course) prevented the air mattress from being functional. After reading the directions in a more sober light this morning, Bill thinks we will be sleeping in comfort this evening.
Another “bump” occurred yesterday when a piece of gravel shot at our windshield and put a bullet sized chip in it. Using my indispensable iPhone, I located Jacob’s Auto Glass Company, which provided us with great and speedy service.
Today we will travel another 200 miles...here's hoping to a smooth ride!
