Traveling on to Michael's

We left Yellowstone early to drive toward Olympia, WA where our son lives. We really enjoyed the drive to Missoula where we stopped the first night. The roads were good and the scenery was beautiful ...rolling hills and green plains with very little evidence of people.


We stopped at Missoula, MT for the first night of a very long drive. The campground we stayed at was beautiful. The people there had amazing green thumbs...there were lovely flowers all though the park and it was manicured beautifully. Jim and Mary's RV park was set up well and we thought how nice it would be to stay a few nights.


However, we left early to drive on to Olympia, WA. We made it about 3:00 and got set up in Olympia Campground. This is a large pine covered area and the dogs love the large area to walk in. We toured Olympia and Tacoma with Mike and his lovely girlfriend, Beth. We had plans to go to Seattle but I developed an awful allergy reaction to all the mold and pollen here and those plans have been scrapped until later. One thing I hope to see...and will, regardless...is the Pacific Ocean on Friday or Saturday. We are thinking about riding the Mt. Hood train on Sunday.


We've had a good time with Mike and Beth. This is a lovely area of the country but this Texan handles dust easier than humidity and mold.
