ENTERPRISE, OR TO CLARKSTON, WA

When there's a desired change in the weather, in most parts of the country, the locals often say "wait 5 minutes and the weather will change".  That was the case yesterday, as we waited for a snow storm to pass through the Wallowa Valley.  Snow fell for the entire morning, so it was more than 5 minutes, but the weather did indeed change.  About 1pm, the snow stopped, and we started to see some sunshine.

Thanks Bob & Diana for the great hospitality.

We quickly unhooked our power cords, said goodbye to our dear friends, and were on the road by 1:30pm.  A quick stop in Enterprise for fuel, and we headed north on Hwy 3 toward Clarkston, WA, our destination.  With less than 100 miles to travel, we were in no hurry, particularly since we had to traverse a winding road into a deep canyon.

We pulled into the Wally World parking lot in Clarkston, late in the afternoon, with the toughest drive yet behind us.  Patty & I had done this challenging road once before in the motor home, but this was truly trial by fire for Nancy.  With lots of sharp turns on a narrow two lane road, and a steep descent into the canyon, she handled her rig like a pro.  When this trip started, I told her that when it was over, she would have experience on just about every road condition imaginable.  She passed the test yesterday with flying colors!  

A quick shopping trip through WalMart, and after a dining experience at a restaurant across the street, with mixed results, we called it a day.  Today, we off to an RV resort in Blanchard, Idaho, where we have a reservation for a week.  From there, it will be a short run to the U.S. Canadian border.
