Yesterday, our ride (137 miles) from Moses Lake, Washington to Post Falls, Idaho was pleasant and uneventful ... just the way we like them! We stopped and fixed lunch at one of Gloria and Les's membership parks north of Cheney so she could check it out. Her son, Walt (family members have access to their parks as well) is interested in spending a family vacation in this park so she will pass along what we found. As we drove through on I-90 east, the weather in Spokane was rainy and we were startled by a bolt of lightning off in the hills but thankfully, that was the only one. When we arrived, even though the sun was shining, it was cool and windy here in Post Falls. The forecast is for sunny weather so we're keeping our fingers crossed that today will be better (so far, so good). Phil and Les decided to pay for only three days because unknown to us, this park is alongside the freeway, hence it's very noisy not to mention they have quite a few RVs around us that are "permanently" set up with lots of comings and goings, small (noisy) children and barking dogs. Our satellite TV is locked on but we lost our Seattle (which equates to our network) channels (Boo hoo! No more Today Show, Oprah or Dr. Phil!). The signal from the satellite we use for the Internet is also very weak (it's at 62 and we need a minimum of 60 to connect and the higher the number, the better) so we may have to change satellites since we're so far north and will continue to be near or above this latitude for quite some time. Because we aren't sure exactly how that's done it means more research. Our potluck dinner included turkey tenderloin (for G & L, pork chops (for us), tossed green salad, frozen vegetables and rice. Delicious! After dinner, we piled into G & L's Saturn (puppies and all) and went exploring in Post Falls. We found lots of industry due to the lower cost of production in this area we're supposing. I will check it out ...
