| View Of Grand Coulee Dam |
We toured the visitor center, viewed a movie of the building
of the dam and the impact. A girl asked
us if we wanted to go on the FREE tour.
Of course, if it is free. We
drove over to the departure site and had a nice one-hour tour. Most of it is restricted since 9-11. It was still worthwhile.
We returned to Coulee City, gassed up and headed out on Rt
2, over the mountains towards Seattle.
We talked to a few people, who told us about the heat wave enveloping
the entire nation, except the Seattle area.
Coolness sounds good.
Route 2 was a good ride, with excellent road
conditions. We were aiming for a state
park just east of Seattle. We found it,
but no camping is available. We now have
some internet capabilities on our phones, so we looked for campgrounds. We found one just northeast of Seattle. It is a little pricey, but is good for the
night.
We will head our to Mt Rainier tomorrow. Depending how that goes, we may circle it,
then head to Olympic NP. We will play
all that by ear. I cannot see us doing
both in one day. We will have to watch
the campgrounds, since availability in metropolitan areas are scarce. With the weekend coming up, there will be more
people heading out the great outdoors too.
