We got back into the minivan and left the Columbia River Gorge for Brian’s sister’s family home in Spokane.
This brought us to visit more family and also back into the “heat dome” which recently left West Oregon. It was 105° in Spokane but is expected to cool off before the weekend when our two families are camping at Glacier National Park.
We did a (very) quick tour of downtown Spokane and then spent some time relaxing in the backyard in Liberty Lake.


Our driving total to this point is just shy of 2,000 miles. Today was a driving day. Tomorrow should be a relaxing day in Spokane. More adventures await!
