Sunday morning we have a 7:45am flight out of LAX which means going to the airport at 5:45am. Ungodly time. We are flying on Mexicana Airlines via Mexico City to Guatemala City. <br>Not exactly sure yet where we'll meet up with Rose and Jim....probably at LAX before the flight.<br><br><br>

Finally got the truck back, all fixed and running beautifully. Decided to get on the road, though it was already 2 pm. Headed south along Flathead Lake through green forests and valleys to I-90, then west, west, west. All uphill, what a climb, to Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, then downhill into Washington State.

... weather and that we have not had any problem with the Jeep or motorhome.<br><br>Terry asked me not to be so anal on this trip as I usually want to know in advance where and when I am staying. We have been lucky by just calling a day or two ahead but we may have run out of luck with Seattle. We are leaving here and just going a little up the road to see the Coolee Dam but not staying as ...

... was an old mission outside Coure de Laine and was the oldest standing building in Idaho founded by the Catholic Church. It was wonderful how they restored the buildings and showed the pictures of how the priests and First Nation people co-existed.

We are sure that someone is assisting us, at that moment in time we wanted to book in, another person had cancelled a site and we took the last site available, this is not the first time we have picked up the last slot. We take up residence and Earnie completes his task of checking out the washrooms and we settle into relax and Rick plays with his new toy. We are thankful for the last spot, BUT GEE, a train line runs directly behind us, we are becoming fairly sure the trains are ...

... More lingering. Pie was involved. Homemade apricot and strawberry-rhubarb. Delicious! You'd think with all this traveling and walking we'd shed some pounds.
