Leavenworth to Spokane, Montana

Moving on this morning we decide to take the 2 across to Spokane, Montana instead of staying on the main interstate.

We follow the river for some time before turning inland and up into the mountains past these gratified rocks.

There were a lot of these -long straight roads through the countryside for mile on mile, front & back view....


Until we come across and canyon....

And then a lake!   Good place to stop and have a bite to eat.

Coulee City marina, a small town, which had a campground here at the marina too but we were on our way again after lunch.

Neat stop for lunch, a kind of oasis in the middle of nowhere.

The reflection on the water was pretty nice too.

There were plenty of dust storms along the way also, you can see them line up against the horizon and move across the land.

An old pub and house we pass as we blink through another small town.

This is wheat country but someone was growing something different - a splash of yellow.

We arrive in Spokane and check in - only to find Alderwood RV park is under reconstruction but we have driven a long way and so decide to stay anyway.  

We head into town and see what is around and find our way into the city center where the falls are in a large park, so go for a wander.

Spokane turned out to be pretty cool and we liked it - would come here again.

The city center has many bridges crossing over the falls and we cross over the river and back again further down while taking in the sights.

We come across a gondola and take a ride over the falls in this also.

Afterwards we poke around the shops which are still
open and head back to camp, stopping at D'Lish Burgers
for dinner. Pretty good burgers too.
