Day 1 - Vancouver to Walla Walla
We took a short trip to Salmon Arm so Wendy could play in a hockey tournament. This theatre (now closed) is in Hope.
Marvell Comics legend, "Ductman" is our new security agent. He defends our house from the evils of the Wildfire Lab. It's a big job.
The Deas wormwhole tunnel that shoots us out into the ethereal light and lands us directly on the other side of the US Border. No Nexus cards or CDC dog import forms required. Don't we wish. But thankfully - that border is indeed open these days.
We wondered how long it would be before we witnessed signs of the impending Presidential election. Check out the spare tire on the RV. We didn't even make it to the Fairhaven coffee stop!
The Hand of Wendy arrives, bearing coffee and snacks at our new hangout in Fairhaven, Avenue Bread.
The incredible Fairhaven pumpkin cookie - surrounded by her supporting cast. We will consume later - with afternoon coffee in Cle Elum.
My ol' friend, The Stearman, is turning into dust.
Got to be the place for your "new doo" - apparently - anything goes.
They really should put the sign up. This is Pioneer Coffee's patio in Cle Elum.
The best grass in the world for a game of ball is at the Wanapum Dam.
A classic - a boat - a moonrise - and the big R "Russ" watertower. Why does day one of every trip have a reference to Russland?
Crossing the Columbia, a roadtrip tradition.
