      Day off, and laundry!

      August 17, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

      Gave ourselves a slow down day and just enjoyed the park, with a few chores! Got all our laundry done per covid guidelines. The laundry room is scheduled in two hour blocks of time with only one user at a time. Linley and I snagged the coveted slots, 10:30 to 12:30, and the 12:30 to 2:30 windows. Clothes, sheets, and towels all done. They only had 2 washers and dryers so we had to stay on top of it!

      Spent the rest of the afternoon doing some needlework on a quilt project while Tom got an afternoon nap! Great BBQ steak, grilled asparagus and salad for dinner. Still eating inside with AC on, but have a window view of Icicle River.

      Sometimes it is nice to slow down and take a day off from sightseeing goals! Thank you Lord, for AC units and a great campsite!

      Lunching in Toppenish

      August 16, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F

      About a 300 mile drive from Cascade Locks to Leavenworth in Washington. Yakima was about halfway so we decided to stop for lunch to break up the drive. Toppenish is a small town just south that looked like an easier iron then the "big" city of Yakima. What a fun find. Small, older town that still had their downtown park and older buildings. Had mapped or way to another restaurant only to find out had closed and then was directed to El Noa Noa by a store owner when we asked for a lunch recommendation. This restaurant has taken sidewalk dining to a new level. Pretty clear that this garden oasis has been in place several years, but it was perfect for pandemic times. Lots of planters with flowers and veggies, and cute grass shade covers. Great Mexican food, with handmade flour tortillas and ice cold water!Read more

      Cascade Locks to Icicle River RV park

      August 16, 2020 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

      Long, warm (?) drive to our most northern destination, Icicle River RV, 3 miles outside of Leavenworth. In spite of the name, we have not found a single icicle. (Oh, for even a half icicle.) While it is not triple digits, we are high nineties....and who knows maybe it crack a hundred? I'll check with Linley, she'll know...
      Really enjoyed our drive along the Columbia, north to Yakima (Toppenish for lunch), took the highway instead of the interstate and drove through Yakima canyon, along side the Yakima river. Lots of floating "tubers", no masks, and most were in clusters of tubes floating together. That aside, it looked incredibly refreshing! Probably some pretty sunburn folks at the end of the day... it is a canyon with few, if any, trees!
      Back through lots of ag land; fruit trees, vines, with produce boxes staged for picking. Final leg had us driving through the Wenatchee national forest and into Leavenworth. Don't have a many driving pics because I drove the the afternoon leg....
