First Day

We left Leavenworth at about 11:00 after considerable last minute packing (even though we thought we were all ready).  We went about 15 minutes before being stopped in Tumwater Canyon for our first road construction event.  We have some great pictures of what we were stopped next to and I will post them in the near future (once I figure out what I'm doing wrong).  The next event was that our GPS stopped working.  After we entered the destination, she (I use the woman's voice..."hello, big fella" and all that) started to tell us to exit the freeway and turn right at EVERY exit between Leavenworth and Spokane.

We're not actually in Spokane.  The campground is in Cheney.  They tell me it used to be pronounced like Chain-ee, but that after the unfortunate selection of a Vice President, they changed it to Chee-knee.  I don't know if that's true or not but it sounds like it could be.

We arrived at the campground at about 4:00 and got a very nice pull-thru space.  For you non-RV'ers that means you don't have to back the rig up and that's a good thing.  It was in the upper 80's so we used the air conditioning for the first time...it works well.
