Last of the trip views

It was amazing with gas so high, yet every RV park is
full, packed most of them. And at least 3 in every mile
of time of travel, passed us just on the other side of the
highway. I am sure it was the same on our side that we
were traveling on. Compared to 15 semi’s and 25 cars.
And that is just the ones on the other side of the high
way , in a mile stretch average.

And of course in California it was way more, as the traffic
is almost bumper to bumper in the cities and not much
better out of the cities. You would never know that gas
was over $3.00 a gallon.

After we visited with our friend in Portland for the afternoon
and night, we headed out again in the morning. We went to
Bonneville Dam and Fish Hatchery. There were a couple
loads of school buses and some RV’s there. It was neat to
watch the kids, as they took in all the different fish areas
and different sizes of fish. I bought a cup that said…
Jesus said,… Go fishing, he said nothing about fixing the sink,
mowing the lawn, walking the dog, painting, the trim,
washing the car, cleaning the garage, or weeding the garden.

After that we ventured to Maryhill Art Museum. It is well
worth the visit. As you can see from the pictures of the chess
men, there is much to see. There is a Native American section,
the parts about Sam Hill and his wife and children. Their
art and their friendships with the Rumania King and Queen
and several others. If you get a chance go.

The view from the highway of the tug boats, barges,.
paddle wheel ship, sail boats, and fishing men, was
worth the ride down that side of the river.

We pulled in to the King’s brothers house, we spend the
night. And headed for home early Thursday morning.
As each mile marker…for us.. the rest areas, Spokane,
Post Falls, Cda, and then up 95, we knew we were getting
closer to the end of our journey.
And of course, there is no more welcome sight than our
Long Bridge, and Sandpoint in the background.
