Wenatchee Bound



Today was the first time we attached the Jeep to the motorhome to tow. Doug followed all of the instructions and the pin wouldn't fit through the hole of the hitch arm. Aaaaargh, is anything going to go right????? Fortunately, Doug had a file and was able to remove the burrs inside. The pin slid in smoothly.




And here we are in all of our glory, ready to tackle Stevens Pass.



We had heard that there was snow the night before, but this was all that we saw. The roads were bare and dry and it was a gorgeous day for a ride. Doug was a little cautious since it was the first time towing the car and we just took our time and enjoyed the day.




The colors were outstanding. My pictures don't do justice to the blue sky and colorful foliage.


We wanted to be south before the weather changed, but a day like this was worth every minute.
We made it to Wenatchee (actually Monitor, just outside of Wentachee) where we checked into one of our favorite parks. It sits right on the Wenatchee River and is well maintained. There is a train that runs on the other side of the river and the soft train sounds are actually soothing and comforting.


We set up in record time and Doug snapped a picture as Buddy and I came out to check the park.

We have settled in for a couple of days and can hardly wait to see the grandkids. Doug is waving to all of our good friends and family. Thanks to all of you for help, advice and lots of love.
