Home in Wenatchee

We made it home after almost 5 weeks on the road. We spent about $2100 on fuel! Yes, that is a lot. Diesel prices ranged from a high of 4.29 to a low of 3.68 per gallon. I would say the average was around $3.90 per gallon. It's a lot of money, but we saved where we could by using our Passport America 1/2 price campground membership for which we pay about $45 a year.

After leaving Great Falls, Montana we drove over Rogers Pass to Missoula, and then to Lolo Pass and along highway 12 which follows the Clearwater River. This is the route that Lewis and Clark took and it is really scenic. We think this is one of the prettiest drives in the United States.

We ended our trip by driving along the Columbia Gorge to Portland, Oregon where we attended the Oregon Summerfest square dance weekend. We had a fun time dancing with our friends, Loyce and Wendell. Sunday, July 10th we drove home to Wenatchee.

So, now we're home ready to enjoy the rest of the summer. Grandson, Hudson, was very glad to see us. We've been out riding the loop trail with our daughter-in-law, Toddi, several mornings. She tows Hudson behind in a bike trailer which makes us sort of even since she is almost 30 years younger. We saw both osprey and eagles on our bike ride.
