We did make it home!

Connie reminded me the other day that I failed to post a blog about the last two legs of our journey across the US and home. In case you are wondering, we did make it home on the 22nd of September.

We left Livingston Montana in the rain and made our way through Idaho and into Washington where we stayed overnight at the KOA in Spokane. When I booked our site, I selected the cheaper option of a pull through site…note to self don’t do that again. It wasn’t horrible but it was rather crowded and we were in between two long-term guests, so not the best experience. I didn’t even bother hooking up the Starlink. We ate inside the trailer and were early to bed.

We awoke early and got on the road before 8am. It was a nice sunny day and Spokane rush hour wasn’t too hectic. By 830m we were through Spokane and on our way to Wenatchee via the I-90. Traffic was light and since we were making good time, we stopped off in Moses Lake to wash the trailer. It was nice to give it its first good scrub and rinse since we left home almost 3 months earlier.

It was the first time we had driven up from the south to Wenatchee via 281 and 28 through the Quincy area.

We rolled into Lincoln Rock State Park shortly after 1pm and while we weren’t supposed to check in until 3pm, our spot was empty and no one was at the gate, so we set up and then drove back into town to get groceries at Fred Meyer.

Our friends Doug and Debbie joined us later that afternoon, and Andy and Lisa the following day.

It had been a while since my last haircut, so I booked a cut at Woody’s Classic Man in Lake Chelan. The gal who cut my hair remembered me from the previous year. I must have left an impression.

We enjoyed our time at Lincoln Rock, paddle boarding, bike riding, playing pickle ball (for the first time), and trading stories by the campfire. The ladies also enjoyed a couple of trips to Hobby Lobby, while us boys guarded the camp.

On Monday the 22nd we said our goodbyes and made our way home. Connie and I were the first to cross the border after a quick stop at Ship It To US where I picked up some parts for my old truck and the trailer.

Like our entry into the US, our departure into Canada was uneventful. We arrived home about 130pm and unpacked before packing our suitcases for a trip to Vancouver, where I attended board meetings.

We don’t know when our next cross continent driving adventure might be but we thoroughly enjoyed this one. If you haven’t done one of these, I really encourage you to put it on your bucket list.

Until next time happy reading!
