1. Just one more day til Chilliwack, BC, Canada
Today was a spectacular day for us. For the last 2-1/2 days we have had steady rain and snow and average temperature in the low 30's. We started out in Billings in the low 40's and finished our day in Spokane, Washington at 73 degrees. The sky was a clear blue with visibility of many miles. We couldn't believe how the terrain kept changing. One minute there were rolling hills and the next massive snow capped mountains. We were also amazed with how much snow was still on the ground, often right up to the highway. I would expect it will be at least another month before most of it is gone. We also found out that our route around the Cascade loop will need to be cancelled due to snow and slides. They expect to have the route open by May 15th! Tomorrow, we will travel to Chilliwack in preparation for our trailer orientation and "phase 2" of our great trip. So, until next time..........
