Where does the time go? Life is good and we are back on the road in our RV Lupita.
We spent a month in June traveling in Idaho, Washington and Oregon, with the intention of visiting the Olympic mountains. It was cool, rainy and suffice to say we are still waiting to see the Olympic Mountains.
We visited the scenic Snake River canyon area and Boise, Idaho's historic capital. We did find some nice wine areas in Lake Chelan, where we spent my birthday and found a Karma champagne to celebrate with! Then to Yakima valley, a beautiful scenic area in southern Washington, which has expanded to many more and better wineries than when we first visited a few years back.
After waiting two weeks for the weather to improve, we bit the bullet and traveled to the coast via the Oregon Willamette wine area, where we found many old and new good wines. We headed inland to Washington's capital Olympia, a neat small town with excellent oysters and crabs. We had one glorious day on the Oregon coast then rain set in again. Heading back through Widbey Island in the Puget Sound, we came back to N. Washington, crossed the Cascade Mountains in, yes, cascdes of rain, and snow at the summit! This in June no less.
It was nice to see some different parts of the NW States but good to be back to Calgary for some serious sun, although summer was a bit disappointing there too.
