Wednesday August 22^nd – Today was Spokane tour day. A cool 54 to start and a high of 78 comfortable degrees. We have been told we did the right thing by hanging back in the mountains until the 100+ days were gone.

 

After our walk and a little breakfast we headed into town – thanks GPS! Too many one way streets for me and several where two streets v’d into one – how exciting. The information place was really good help except for parking – height limits.

 

The downtown has a huge mall, many parks including along their beautiful river falls, and many historic buildings.

The famous Steam Plant converted to a pub and micro brewery was disappointing – only because it wasn’t open! It has 80 foot ceilings and a lot of decorations made from original fixtures. We didn’t go hungry long though, down a couple blocks we found an Italian place that was great. The bread served with the soup was amazing – their own recipe of course. Followed by a vegetarian Panini with their homemade chips. Happily we headed home.

 

While walking Lexi this afternoon we saw a big cove of quail – now she won’t be so interested in that ball.

 

This campground has more tall pines than I have seen in a campground. It made parking tough and satellite reception impossible. Many are 80 to 100 feet tall!!!
