Vignette 1: So, about the Jake Brake RV Resort. We wanted to arrive in the Seattle area on
Friday, August 2nd so we pushed on past our normal limits and found
ourselves with limited RV Park availability near Ellensburg, Washington the
evening of August 1st. We did
a “Good Sam” search and found the E&J RV Park. By the way, did I mention in the original
Manly Blog that I LOVE Good Sam RV Parks?
Well, not so much anymore.
It seems that Good Sam assigns rating points on some arcane
system that is in no way related to reality.
Hence the 8.0 (out of 10) rating for said E&J RV Park. The “Park” is actually the rear parking lot
of a Day’s Inn Motel and it backs up against I-90 as in 500 feet or so between
us and all the big trucks. Add to that
the Railroad that runs just south of the “Park” and you can imagine the amount
of sleep we got that night. I wish Good
Sam allowed user reviews on their Park Listing page. I would write a scathing review of the
E&J.
Vignette 2: Montana and Idaho must really get some
serious snow. There are signs warning
of: Road Closures (with gates!), chain
installation/removal areas, requirements for trucks to put “drag chains” on the
trailer wheels, and “Snow Area, no parking for the next 42 miles.” (a real, actual sign.)
Vignette 3: Today we met our daughter Stacie and her
son Kyle at the LeMay Auto Museum.
Wow! Six floors of cars dating
from the early 1900’s up to today. There
were American cars, European cars, original cars, modified and custom cars, new
cars, old cars, race cars, and prototype cars.
It was quickly another case of subject overload. You could spend days in there! After the museum we went and had a nice
dinner at a local semi-posh gathering place called Harmon Brewery & Eatery. I had what I think is the best chicken
sandwich I’ve ever eaten.
That’s all. I’m tired
and am going to bed.
Ride On!
Frank
