Taking a break....

We’re still at Robert’s Roost CG, just taking it easy thru the weekend.  We had a caravan from Quebec come in on Friday, so we had to move sites until they left.  The sites we moved to only have 15 amp electric, so it was a hassle having to juggle usage.   On the other hand, the layout was much better….lots of shade, much more privacy. 

In the end we decided to move back to the sites with more electric.  Also, we have a grand view of the lake thru our front window.  The owner of the CG and his wife have a plane with pontoons tied up at the dock here.  Yesterday, they got into the plane, taxied out into open water, and took off for parts unknown.  I just noticed that they aren’t back yet….have to ask them where they went, when they get back.  They flew out somewhere on Friday, then when they came back, they landed, came over to the dock, the pilot hopped out on the pontoon, jumped to the dock, grabbed the wing, swung it around, grabbed a rope and tied it up.  I was impressed!

I was all set to take Route 2 across Montana, but after a lot of research, there is no easy way to get from Western Washington over to Glacier National Park without going back to Calgary.  I can’t get excited about doing that.  So….guess we’ll continue down into Washington, then link up with I-90 downstate.

We went downtown last night to the local casino, lost our standard $20.00 in a short time, and wrote it off to entertainment.

Sunday morning and the sun is up.  At least it gets dark here so the sun does appear.  It never gets really hot here, however, we did have to turn the AC on late yesterday since we’re back out in the sun, with no shade.

Tomorrow we’ll be back on the road again, travelling down Route 97 South toward Washington State.  Don’t know how long it will be before we have internet again.
