Barb - Ed put the pedal to the metal, so to speak, and we made some mileage today. We decided to stay on I-90, plus we gained an hour in going to Pacific Time at the Idaho border. We crossed over the start of the Columbia River in central Washington, and also noticed that the aspen and other deciduous trees were starting to turn golden in western Montana. (Yes, we know the difference between real and fake trees! The neon palm trees pictured were an advertising effort for a local Hawaiian-themed casino in Deer Lodge...) Our campground tonight is on the Yakima River which is pretty, as long as it doesn't rain 6 inches tonight!
Ed - Well, I now know the RV can run at 70 mph without much effort. Our gas mileage today was just about 8 mpg, which was great - everything considered. It's lousy gas mileage for a car, but great for a moving house. We alternately ran into mountains and flat lands all day long. We had a few minutes of rain three or four times but nothing heavy. By the time we stopped this afternoon, we had traveled about 500 miles.
