#15-The drive on Highway 20.....

The Grand Coulee Dam gave us an appreciation and taste for Dams...This is Chief Joseph Dam-the little square to the left is the flag painted on the dam.

It's spilling over similar to the Coulee because of the storms north...
Now we're on the highway west-going to visit the Johnsons and the Slocums!!!
But first, a favorite activity....We stopped at Lone Fir Nat'l campground-known for bears but we're too early in the season so we just cozied up in front of this perfect campfire...
There are too many waterfalls to mention...perfect timing to see the runoff from the snow- packed mountains.. I won't even try to comment on most of these pictures-there are so many and rarely did they have a name for them....
The elevation can be daunting-so is the view!

This is one of many switchbacks-it's good to have your vehicles in good condition!




We actually had 102 pictures of this road trip...It was very hard to pin it down to a decent number for this blog...

That campfire looks like a good one to snuggle up to. I love campfires!
