Spokane County

We are still in Washington State. But what a difference our 308-mile drive on I-90E made. From 60F at Dash Point when we left this morning, to 99F in the shade … 112F in the sun in Liberty Lake. Even with the A/C blasting, it is 92F inside the Cruiser. In other words, we’re cooking here in the Spokane metropolitan area. On the upside, the air quality is much better here, with a light breeze and blue skies overhead.

Our drive was uneventful … we made a few stretch-your-legs breaks, and took a slightly longer break for lunch. That was it. The smoke haze from the wildfires to our west was evident and accompanied us most of the way to Liberty Lake. Unfortunately, it looks like conditions will be worse as we continue through Idaho and Montana.

We pulled into the campground around 2:00p and were escorted to our site — B-15. It is a 50A pull through, with a level concrete pad and green grass separating us from our neighbors. The campground is well-maintained, with decently spaced sites. In many ways, it reminds me of Advanced RV Resort, which we used as our base in Houston, TX when we were full timing.

Day 1 of the trip back home is now behind us. Time to rest up for another day on the road tomorrow … a slightly shorter day of driving.En savoir plus
