Yesterday my sister Anne and I got together for lunch. She'd been busy with medical tests on Thursday and Friday so Saturday was it! I visited with her for a bit and then we can were off for lunch. We both had tacos and roasted mushroom soup and..she treated me! It was delicious and then off to shop a bit. I picked up sandwich fixins for today and she dropped me off back at Ian and Linda's. Last year she sold her home in Westbank and moved into Kelowna to a condo. Good thing as the area she lived in was in the forest fires area this summer.
It was a busy few days with too much to tell but on Friday night Ian's other son Gordon flew up from Vancouver for a visit. Linda put together another great dinner on Friday night. Gordie is right between our daughter's Krista and Erika in age so they all knew each other well when they were young. Gordie's a funny guy as you can see by Erics laughter. Lots of old stories!
We were up at 6am this morning and on the road south by 7:15.
On the bridge over the lake and it's about -6c.
Heading south to Osoyoos and the USA border.
I love the rock.
Over the border quickly with only a few questions from a really nice border guard. Refreshing 😊
Still green here.
Omak Washington.
We'll go through Wenatchee to get to Golden Dale..about 403 miles and our nights destination.
The leaves are beautiful.
Lunch in a Wenatchee park..warming up and just lovely.
The mighty Columbia!
Over the bridge.
As we travelled we were up and down through the coulees.. Down to the river and then up to around 2500 ft again and again. 
Desert like here.
And now beautiful fall trees.
We rolled into Goldendale Washington and the Quality Inn around 4pm. Older but clean and renovated so all is well. Beer, a shower, a frozen home cooked meal and bed. Tomorrow we're off to Coos Bay Oregon and our friends Connie and Manny's for a few days. Stay tuned😊
You always post such great road pics! It looks like your winter trip is off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteI can tell from the order of your pictures that it is getting warmer as you drive. Take your time; as you know, the storms down in Mexico did a lot of damage to the roads. Contessa is getting info (how bad) from those who have gone ahead and willing to take road risks. Also, those living down there on RV.Net (section near bottom strictly Mexico and South America).
ReplyDeleteHappy Trails!

Thanks Dee..we are aware of the roads from Los Mochis to Maz. They get worse every year. Last spring we came the free road from Maz to Culiacan and it was fine and...no huge tolls for horrible roads. Thanks for following!
