As usual we only post about every ten days. The last ten days have been very busy with lots of sight seeing and touring. After leaving Coyote rock we stayed three days in Vancouver, Washington visiting with my high school buddy Tom Davis and his wife Ann.
We stayed at the Elks lodge about 3 miles from his house. While we were there they took us sight seeing up the Columbia River and to several beautiful waterfalls on the Oregon side and then the next day to a replica of Fort Vancouver that was a trading post for the Hudson Bay company.

We left Vancouver on Friday and drove back to the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum where the Spruce Goose aircraft built by Howard Hughes is now on display. I just had to see such a famous airplane.

We left Saturday morning for Astoria, Oregon where winter quarters for Lewis and Clark is located. There is also a wonderful Maritime museum there so we spent Saturday and Sunday getting a history lesson.

Monday we drove up the Washington coast to Port Angeles, Washington where we spent a night and went to see the movie, Angels and Demons.
Tuesday we drove to Bremerton, Washington where we are now parked at an Elks lodge. We have found a great bird shop to leave the parrots while we are on the cruise ship. We have now toured down town Seattle a little bit.

We came back to the 5th wheel and our friends from LA that are going on the cruise with us were here so had dinner together and played dominos last night.
