Home and settling in, I guess I had better finish this blog. We did not go to the casino for dinner. We ate in the rig . But in the afternoon we went out to gas up without the trailer attached. I had noticed an ad for the community of Granger and we decided to go and explore. It was booked as the place where the dinosaurs roamed. It was only about 8 miles from Toppenish so away we went. It was raining softly when we happened upon the first of the 16 dinosaurs. They even have a playground full of roaming dinos. What fun it would be to take Leo there. That evening there was nothing worth watching on Television and so we played games on the computers and called it a night early.
We got away by 9:30 after hearing that the weather was not going to improve. Ken decided to travel the White Pass since we had not ever been there. The road was so beautiful. Spring greens are wonderful. The dogwood were in bloom and everything was wonderful. We discovered that Cayuse Pass was still closed, but White Pass was open. At the top of the pass it was snowing and there were 10 to 15 foot snow banks at the side of the road. The melt is on and there were waterfalls everywhere. What a beautiful time of the year this is!!
We sailed through Seattle with hardly a slow down and we were at the border at 4:30. Only away a week but it was a great week. Off to Alaska in 12 days, yeah!!
