Ok here we go again. We are planing on heading out some time the end of Oct. We will pull the house off the market and head for Branson MO. first. Then south to the coast and then west for the winter. Hope all will enjoy there winter as much as we will.

Well we left Leavenworth WA. on the 19th. to start our trip home for the house sale. We spent the night in La Grand OR. At Eagle Hot Lake RV Park. Nice place but real humid. Left there the 20th. and stayed at Hayburn RV Park in Hayburn ID. Left there the 21 and went to RV World campground in Rawlins WY left there early and got home the 22nd. It was along trip and then on Monday we find out the buyer has backed out of the deal. Now talk about a bummer. Oh well guess that is the way it goes some times. Guess we will just stay here till our winter trip when if we dont sell the house we will pull it off the market for the winter. So this will be the last post for some time. Hope all of you are doing well and have a nice summer.

New update. We went to Leavenworth WA. (the town) yesterday on the bike and had a nice time checking out the cool shops . The town in all done in a German theme. And really look nice. Didnt buy a thing but not because we didnt want to but was not sure where to put it all. I did have a beer in the beer garden and that sure hit the spot as it was getting a bit hot. Then we headed to the fish hatchery and got to see the Salmon that go there to spawn. They also had tons of little Salmon that they put back in the rivers. While we were there we walked to the river (Icile Creek off the Wenatchee river) and watched an Indian bring in a 36 in. Salmon. That was a big fish.
The other news is that we have and offer on the house and we are going through with it. So looks like we will be heading home soon to do all the things we have to. So we will be seeing you all soon for awhile then head out again for a real long trip.

Well we left Quincy WA. (Crescent Bar) and drove to Leavenworth WA. for the next week. Found a nice site with lots of trees. Bristol is in heaven. It was real hot the past few days and is still hot up here. The humidity is way up right now as it rained real hard last night all over the place. I sure do like this place as I can ride my bike and they have lots of trails to explore. Will post more as the days go on. Glad to hear it is raining out there in Denver. Should be cooler for you for awhile.

Havent said much lately So thought I would do an update. We mostly have been staying around the park doing nothing. Been nice and warm here and that makes Gloria happy. Me well that is another story. Have had the AC going so I can stay cool. They had a nice breakfast and Ice cream social on Saturday and we enjoyed it for sure. Water has gone down on the Columbia river by the camp. So now I can walk all the way to town and enjoy the river.  Yesterday we ran into some folks we had met last winter in So. Cal. Betty and Lon. Spent some time catching up. They live here in Washington by Tacoma . Nice to see them again and have time to chat. We will be here for another week then off to Leavenworth WA. for a week.

Today was a real nice day. All sun and about 85 degrees. We took off early on the bike and rode to the Grand Coulee Dam. It was about 160 miles round trip but well worth it. We got some real nice pictures and learned allot about the Dam and it history. It is the largest dam in the US and puts out more electricity than any other. You should see the guards around this place. They are armed with M16 rifles and Pistols. They take there security real serious. We even had to go through Metal detectors to go on the tour. The tour takes you by bus to the power plant and then across the dam. Wow what a view and we even got to see the water being let out of the dam over the spill ways. This dose not happen very often. On the way bak  we stopped at a place called Dry Falls. This was suppose to be the worlds largest falls back in the Ice Age. Wow sure would have been nice to see that. But now it is a dry falls. The falls are 3.5 miles wide and drop more than 400 feet. For all you out there that like to fish you should be living out here.  There are more lakes than you can shake a stick at. The lake that Grand Coulee backs up is 152 miles long. Now that may take a day or so to get around. We also stopped so Gloria could get some fresh Cherries from a fruit stand. May not do any thing tomorrow but will at least try to post some pictures on Flicker.

We left Newport WA. on Monday and got to Quincy WA. and set up camp at Crescent Bar TT Park.
This is another one of our member parks. We have a nice view of the Columbia river from our camp site. It sure is a big river. Sun was out and it was in the upper 70's. Didn't do much just looked around and got a feel for the place.
Yesterday was not as nice. We had rain and drizzle all day so we went to the store (Fred Myers) and did some shopping. The store is 20 miles away so made a nice drive along the Columbia River.
Today is nice again. Should be up in the high 70's again and will be most of the week. Walked to the town of  Crescent Bar which tunes out to be an Island. Not much there but there is a Bar and small store and Condos  and a trailer park. Did not get to go to the bar as it was closed due to no water right now. Should be back up later today. We had 2 Jets from the Air Force fly by going up the river. Sure were nice to see and real loud as you could see the pilot as they were that low.
