June 26 Leavenworth

We headed out from Coeur d'Alene for Leavenworth. The Washington roads were some of the best we've travelled on our whole trip. The landscape was a little surprising, prairie fields until we hit the cascade mountain range. We pulled into our park around 1PM; we relaxed in our lounge chairs for a bit and then headed into Leavenworth. its a quaint Bavarian style village but we found it "touristy" again, lots of people, hard to find parking, lots of souvenirs; you know the drill. We drove down to the waterfront park and did some "Vandella". We had targeted a restaurant just out of town on a resort; when we got there they weren't taking any "low life" like us, only the guests at the resort. The temperature had risen some more, we decided to head back to our "campsite" and down a few brewsky. I made couple plates of worshies, cheese, and some very nice dipping sauce we had bought at one of the stores in town. It was nice when the sun went down over the mountain, it started to cool off. One thing that had me worried; we have 2 air conditioners on our rig, normally we only put one on when the temp is in the 80's. Well I couldn't get it going in Coeur d'Alene so I just left it as the one AC was doing the job. Well now after we pulled in I needed to work on this thermostat. I went through all the zones and settings and after a half hour just couldn't get it going. My last check was setting the time on the stat. Vwalla!! as soon as I had set the time, it started. Reeeally!! Now I've read the manual back and forth 5 times; no where did it say anything about making sure the time was set. I don't know, maybe just like a computer you try a bunch of things and hopefully something resets; in this case it was the time. By the time we got back from town the rig had gone from 33 degrees to a nice pleasant 23. Tomorrows forecast is over 105 so we are looking to getting to Anacortes for some cooler weather. Another good (hot) day.
 very nice roads in Washington

 first time I ever saw this. by each field there was a little blue sign indicating what crop; alfalfa, timothy, wheat, beans. Cool!

 Cascades, getting closer to home

 ok, 2 things to note; just passed 30k on the odometer, we started from Langley on Dec 25th at 1000KM, from Palm Springs at 5000KM. 2. not the temperature in Leavenworth; that's right 40 degrees Celsius, translated; 110 US of A

 this is the Good Sam book we have used for most of our research, we became members before we started the trip

we signed with Passport America half way through the trip; it was good most of the time at 50% discounts.
