——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Lake Minden RV Resort in Nicolaus, California. I’m scheduled to depart here May 9th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 69 miles from Coulee City to Cashmere, Washington.

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

The traffic continued light along Highway 2…

When we came to the Columbia River, we turned south towards Wenatchee, Washington, the apple capital of the world. The Washington Apple Commission Visitors Center is closed on the weekend so we missed it…

 

 

 

 

 

In Wenatchee both the motorhome and Bronco got an oil change…

 

 

 

 

 

Only a 12 miles away we stopped at the Cashmere Museum which has a no photography rule. It looked like a nice museum, but since I could do no photography I had little interest in it. I decided that in the future I will no longer patronize places that do not allow photography since that is my primary enjoyment of a place. The below photos were taken either in the gift shop or outside…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We parked overnight behind American Legion Post #64 in Cashmere…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

Yesterday was a sunny/cloudy day. High temperature for the day was 76 degrees.

 

Forecast high temperature for today is 63 degrees and sunny.

 

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

 

Enjoying friendly American Legion Posts is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

The traffic continued light along Highway 2…

 

First thing yesterday morning we had a visitor. I took her silhouette photo…

Yesterday morning it rained until about 9:30 AM and the traffic remained light along highway 2…

 

 

 

 

 

We crossed into the State of Washington about 10:30 AM…

 

 

 

 

 

First stop was at the Pend Orille County Historical Museum where I took this shot up Washington Street…

 

 

 

 

 

In the museum I took these photos. This painting is on Washington Street looking south towards the museum which is the building on the right with the green roof…

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some other photos I took in the museum…

Next we went to a local Mexican restaurant where we met up with Jim Davison and his wife Sharon. I’ve not seen Jim in over ten years when we were both members of the WIN RV Singles Group. Jim and i were part of a small caravan that spent six months during the winter of 2001-2002 in Baja California, Mexico. It was nice to see an old friend once again…

 

 

 

 

 

It was only about another 12 miles to Thousand Trails Little Diamond RV Resort where we spent the night…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

 

Yesterday was cloudy with occasional rain showers and windy. High temperature for the day was 67 degrees.

 

Forecast high temperature for today is 71 degrees and sunny.

 

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

 

Enjoying seeing old friends is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 84 miles from Libby, Montana to Sandpoint, Idaho,

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

The traffic continued light along Highway 2…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

About nine miles north of Libby, we stopped to see the Kootenai (KOOT-nee) Swinging Bridge and Falls. The 1994 movie ‘The Wild River’ starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon was filmed here. As we started down the trail, we got this peek-a-boo view of the falls…

 

 

 

 

 

A little further on we crossed this walkway built by the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railroad…

 

 

 

 

 

So that folks wouldn’t get run over by this train…

 

 

 

 

 

Then down 64 steps to continue on the trail…

 

 

 

 

 

Until we came to this fork in the trail. We decided to take the longer path to the left to the swinging bridge first…

 

 

 

 

 

A few minutes later we got our first glimpse of the swinging bridge…

 

 

 

 

 

We got there a few minutes later…

 

 

 

 

 

The bridge was built by the U.S. Forest Service to give them access to forest fires on the other side of the river…

 

 

 

 

 

It really does swing when walked upon…

 

 

 

 

 

Looking upriver towards the lower falls…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking downriver…

 

 

 

 

 

Looking back across the bridge after we crossed…

 

 

 

 

 

Then we started back on the trail upriver to see the falls…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally a 180 degree panorama that turned out really nice…

 

 

This river remains as the largest un-damed river in Montana.

 

 

Being mid-Septenber, one can only imagine what this must be like in late March when the snows start to melt. You can read all about this place by clicking this link… http://www.libbymt.com/areaattractions/kootenaifalls.htm

 

 

 

 

 

Continuing on, the traffic remained light as we entered Idaho and the Pacific Time Zone…

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped in the City of Bonners Ferry and went to the Boundary County Museum. Here are some of the photos that I took…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To see the other 20 photos I took at the museum, you will have to click this Picasa Web Album link… https://picasaweb.google.com/110455945462646142273/BoundaryCountyMuseumBonnersFerryIdaho

 

 

 

 

 

Continuing on, we ended up at Sandpoint, Idaho where we parked overnight at VFW Post #2453 and they provided an electrical hookup…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

 

Yesterday was the second decent weather day we’ve experienced in a long time, High temperature under sunny then cloudy skies only got to 71 with lower humidity. It rained for about four hours during the night.

 

 

Forecast high temperature for today is 67 degrees with scattered showers. Yes! Mucho Bettero!

 

 

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

 

 

Enjoying friendly VFW Posts is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 35 miles from Cut Bank to Browning, Montana.

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

Along the way we saw our first glimpse of the Rocky Mountains about 50 miles distant. Look closely at the far horizon…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

Browning holds a very interesting record… From January 23, 1916 to January 24, 1916, the temperature fell 100°F (56°C) from 44°F (7°C) to -56°F (-49°C). This is the United States and also the world record for the greatest temperature change in 24 hours.

Browning is also the largest community on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. You can read all about Browning by clicking this link… http://browningmontana.com/

First stop was at the Museum of the Plains Indian. It was very interesting, but unfortunately it has a no photography policy. You can read about the museum by clicking their official website link… http://browningmontana.com/museum.html

But, in an adjourning two rooms were two displaying artists. First was…

Here he shows some of his works…

In the next room was…

Then we walked across the street to the Blackfeet Heritage Center & Art Gallery which also has a no photography policy and you can read about by clicking their link… http://blackfeetnationstore.com/store/

On duty in the gift shop was another artist happy to show me his work. John Isaiah Pepion has a website at http://pepionledgerart.com/

He does ink and oil-based colored pencil drawings on old ledger paper as a background…

A closer look…

Here are some other of his drawings…

Despite the no photography policies of the two places, I still managed to get some nice photos of some great work and got to meet the artists as well!

We parked overnight in the lot behind the museum. This photo will also serve as a quasi for my usual dinette window photo as the view would be the same more or less…

Yesterday was a decent day. 79 degrees…humidity still far to high. Today’s forecast 87 degrees. YUCKITTY!

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

Enjoying Indian cultures is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 68 miles from Malta to Chinook, Montana.

 

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

 

Mid-morning it looked like we were going to get involved with a thunderstorm, but it never did develop…

Arriving at Chinook, we parked in a small lot across an alley adjacent to VFW Auxiliary Post 4620, which was closed…

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Once we got set up, we walked a couple of blocks to the Blaine County Museum. I just love the old black and white photographs and color paintings in these museums which show what life was like in days long ago and never to return.. Here are some of the photos that I took…

Here’s the Blaine County Museum official website link… http://www.blainecountymuseum.com/

Yesterday was an okay weather day. High 70’s, cloudy with humidity. Today’s forecast is 82 and sunny.

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

Malta, Montana (GA605)

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
Sadly Mary is struggling with health issues. To see the latest about her situation, click here

I’m currently in my 24th year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click here

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Turtle Beach RV Resort in Manteca, California. I’m scheduled to depart here April 17th.

 

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

This entry was posted September 9, 2013…

 

 

 

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 71 miles from Glasgow to Malta, Montana.

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

Montana is called the Big Sky Country. I wonder if it’s because sometimes there’s nothing in the way to block your view of the sky…

Along the way we stopped in the small Town of Saco and saw the reconstructed one room school-house of famous newscaster, Chet Huntley. If you have forgotten him, clicking this link will refresh your memory as well as to tell about Saco…population 244… http://www.sacomontana.net/history.htm

Arriving at Malta, we parked in the parking lot of the Phillips County Museum and the adjacent Great Plains Dinosaur Museum. Mary visited the dinosaur museum while I visited the Phillips County Museum. Here are some of the photos that I took in there…

I really enjoyed this museum and highly recommend it if you are in the area. Here’s their official website link… http://www.phillipscountymuseum.org/

The museum graciously allowed us to spend the night in their parking lot, even provided us with an electrical hookup…

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Yesterday was an okay weather day. High 70’s, cloudy with a couple of heavier thunderstorms. Today’s forecast is 82, sunny with a morning thunderstorm.

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

Enjoying pioneer museums is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
