KOA in Spokane, WA (Day 8)

Selena is so tired of me taking pictures of her that she can hardly stand it!! She's a good sport (most of the time) and she's so lovely I can't help it. This photo was taken this morning before we left Mt. Rainier. I boiled a half bag of potatoes and we had mashed potatoes and butter. It was a good breakfast.
We took the road north towards the east side of the park to see if we could see the Mount. Unfortunately, the roads were closed after about 6 miles and we had to turn around! White knuckle time for Ahna, until I started to get my "mountain driving legs" back again. I'm O.k. if there are guard rails along the road, but this road had no railings, the road was skinny with hardly any shoulder on it! Whew! Anyway, it was beautiful even if it did make me a little nervous!
Notice any bugs on the windshield?? Some were quite juicy.

Later this evening we arrived in Spokane, WA and found a KOA campground. We're hoping to get some more sleep tonight and depending on the fact that it's going to be warmer than up in the mountains.



Supper is leftover potatoes fried with onions, tomatoes (from the Farmer's Market in Vancouver) and garlic. It was pretty good. Now that's a camping supper! Everything tastes better cooked outside.

A shot of our campground for the night. It's quite typical; lots of RV's, some campers and hardly any tents. Tomorrow it's on to Idaho.
