We are beginning the second leg of our trips now. We finished one tour of camping duty and have gone back out to battle the roads again. Yesterday and the day before give us a chance to get caught up on laundry, pick up a few supplies, and take care of one or two personal appointments. At least one of the appointments was for Dad, taking him for things like blood work etc.. The outcome of that was mentioned in “I Saw an Old Man Walking”.
We drove as far as the Colville Walmart last night, arriving around 8:30 pm or so. Made for a long day but with some luck we’ll make up for it at the tail end of our trip. I really do not like the drive-camp-drive scenario, much too tiring for me. As long as we can get a few days of downtime after these first couple days we should be ok.
Spokane was the destination of choice today. We only drove as far as Deer Park this morning where we came across an inexpensive municipal camping spot so we decided to bunk there. $10 bucks a night is within my budget. That’s good too because I blew the budget a bit while shopping at Costco.
I’ve been a tad frustrated trying to navigate while using maps and reading road signs so an investment in a GPS was considered. I didn’t have to consider too long though, actually it was a foregone conclusion. I picked up a Garmin nuvi 2595LMT. I hope it’s a good unit. Too late now anyway but it’s always nice to know you made a good choice.
My posts are likely to be a bit disjointed from here on out, at least for the next week or so. Nothing new you might think, but because we’re on the road it has been a bit more challenging to put up a good post. Somehow the preparation on my iPhone just doesn’t do justice to the appearance of a blog. I can get the content in alright but making it look at least a little interesting is more challenging.
I’ve been using an app called Penzu to write them and then copy/paste in the WordPress app when I get cell service. I don’t think I can insert pictures as easily though and they seem to lose all formatting when I do the paste. I have just used the WordPress app to prepare the post but I’ve also lost them that way too. No chances are taken when I do it this way.
Anyway, I’m off for now. Time to move on.
