Well we got off to a better start this trip. I actually made it out of town without having to return home for things I thought I had forgotten.
It has been a beautifull day!!! We had a race at Ritzville with a coyote. He won. I do not think I have ever seen any animal move as fast as that coyote. He was bookin' across the freeway. You have to have a lot guts to challenge 70 mph traffic, four lanes and a median strip. We missed him by just a foot or two and I saw the fear in his eye and I am sure he saw the fear in mine.
We had a beautiful drive along the Columbia and decided we would like to cross back into Washington to visit the Mary Hill Museum, but it was not to be. The bridge was closed. We then turned south into the heart of Oregon. It was interesting drive. We saw many Wind Mills for energy. There were acres of them. I got some pretty good pictures of row after row of them just churning away.
We then stopped at a look out point that was a mountain identification area. It had a semi-circle with an arrow and the name of each mountain. We could see Mt. Rainier, Mt Adams, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Hood, Three Sisters and many more. It was an amazing site.
We stopped at every Rest Area until we found just the right one for lunch. Actually it was the only one that had trees for shade. Huge park with only five tables. We did get lucky as there was just one left.
We had a little issue with the airbag light in the car so when we got to Redmond I called to see if we were in trouble. He said, "Well I wouldn't recommend having an accident." Great! Then he was nice enough to tell us to check the connections under the seat. So we jiggled a few things and it seems to be working. So now I don't have to worry if we decide to try it out.
We are now planning our adventure for tomorrow. A lot of scenic driving from here on out. The only problem is keeping Albert on paved roads. Not a four wheel drive!! But, I can say it is a dream of a car to travel in. Cruise control and comfort! What more could you ask for. Auto-pilot:)
I am in hopes of finding some good pictures to share on down the road. So until tomorrow, farewell.
