La Quinta Inn & Suites Spokane

Here I am trying to pack for yet another trip. Everything out ready to put 1/2 back....then another 1/2 back in a day or so. The good news is that we have really no restrictions on weight (other than the standard 2-bags at 50lbs each) and neither Southwest nor Mexicana is charging for baggage. No way I'll need that baggage limitation but I still worry about having to carry the stuff around!<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. Spent almost two hours trying to find Riverside State Park in the city of Spokane, finally set up the camper and tried to settle down for the night.

... halls full of culinary arts, horticulture, poultry barn, beer garden etc.  We went to the critter corner and there were birds and reptiles including Big Al an alligator reared from birth and available for a photo &#8211; Lily and Fynn were first up (Edie not so keen) and sat with Big Al on their laps.  <br><br>We did not have too much time at the Fair as we had promised to be with mum and dad at the Armstrong&#8217;s (Karen and Jack&#8217;s) cabin in Plains for supper so with ...

... the elderly members of our group had a great time at the Ranch.  The combination of riding and outdoors activity, staying in amazing log cabins, the views, the hospitality, food, drink and children&#8217;s programme makes this a fantastic holiday for everyone.  We would certainly love to return.  I think it would be hard to find a ranch that would offer such variety on riding too.  It is going to be hard to ride in London again after this &#8211; the ...

... br><br>Montana was "big sky country" for a reason ! Rolling lush hills seperate the miles of grazing land from the huge snowpeaked mountains ! I love it here ! We stayed at the Missoula KOA and enjoyed a much needed break in their great pool afterwards celebrating with fresh corn on the cob and watermelon ! We are slowly developing our travel groove with each other in a small space !<br>Posted by Tracy

... We passed lots of orchards with obvious irrigation. Coulees The coulees are vast dry canyons scoured out of the earth during the last ice age. We stopped in the middle of Moses Coulee to take some photos and then went to Dry Falls where the oddities of this landscape were made clear. - and Dr. Bretz sticks to his guns - Dry Falls, WA mystery is solved. In the 1920s a ...

... tops of the trees across the way on another hill, awesome. We've been here the last two nights and this morning we'll leave for Lincoln City on the coast to their cabin for a night and they leave for their ranch house and that's where we're going tomorrow, awesome! Then the next day we're heading to Tahoe where friends of her parents live, then to Sun City to where her G-ma lives, then to ...
