| Getting closer to Idaho the roads get
steeper and the scenery gets better. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| This is almost to the Idaho border. |
|
|
|
|
| Welcome to Idaho! And you better make
this curve or you'll never live to remember it! |
|
|
|
|
| Dropping down the hill into Coeur 'd
Alene, Idaho. Just a few miles from the Washington
border. The town is named for the lake and the
interstate is elevated above the town. |
|
|
|
|
| The rest area right before the
Washington state line. Tall pines and very clear sky. No
haze at all. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Eastern Washington looks a lot like
South Dakota! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dropped down a hill and there was the
Columbia River. |
|
|
|
|
| This was taken from the bridge crossing
the Columbia. |
|
|
|
|
| BIG hill after the Columbia River. The
steepest one yet. As we topped the hill there was a rest
area. Debbie asked, is that a cloud or a mountain. I
looked up...and it was Mt. Ranier! |
|
|
|
|
| I took this picture from the rest area.
This is 80 MILES from Mt. Ranier! It's breathtaking! |
|
|
|
|
| This one is about 30 miles closer. |
|
|
|
|
| We arrived at Yakima Sportsman State
Park about 2:30 and setup camp. A very nice park and a
great spot to spend a few days. |
