Day 71 (July 26) – Marching On

Got up early.  Shower at 6:30.  We left at 9:00.  We are planning a long driving day today.  Yellowstone is 14 ½ hours away.  Perfect for 3 days if one is a little longer.  We stopped at a fruit stand and bought some Rainier Cherries.  We stopped at a Rest Area to make lunch.  We stopped to get gas and bought some peaches and kettle corn at the fruit stand there.

We drove past Mt. Ranier – beautiful view of a domed cloud hanging just over the top that I couldn’t get a photo of.  We drove past Rimrock Lake.  (another huge lake.  We drove back into the desert.  Are we in Utah?? And now we are in farm country.

We drove down I-90 and then drove north of Spokane to Wild Rose RV park.  It is in the country.  Sort of feels like MO.  I am hearing coyotes as I’m typing.  Sort of familiar.  This is a really nice park.  We may stay a couple of days to gear up for the eastward trek of our trip.

We are having trouble with our RV A/C (dripping), our at home A/C (Hiller please help – cheaply) and we burned up a charger in the truck today (it was smoking before we finally realized what the horrible smell was.)  I think I’ll call it a night.
