Way up in the northeastern corner of Washington, is Pend Oreille (Pond-O-Ray) County, with the little town of Newport as the county seat. Northern Idaho is just a stones throw away, and the Canadian Border isn't very far either. We drove into Newport, WA., a town of just a few thousand, and our first stop was this local museum. With a restored railroad caboose on the grounds, how could we not stop! After learning some of the local history, we drove north along the Pend Oreille River to an RV Development that has been advertising for a few years in some of the RV publications. It's called the Skookum Rendezvous RV Resort, where you can purchase an RV size lot.
www.skookum-rendezvous.com The property is still being developed, and it sits next to the river, in a beautiful forested area. The lots start at $25,000, and if we were looking for a northern climate to park the motor home for the summer, this place would get some serious consideration. For now, I don't think we would be happy staying in one place for several months at a time.
Yesterday, the weather was a scorcher, with the temperature climbing up to around 80. I think that's about the hottest day we've had, since leaving Arizona on May 13th. Last night, I was awakened to the sound of thunder, and shortly thereafter, just like clockwork, the fearless Beagle was on the bed, curling up right between us. How she ever managed to survive when we parked at the drag strips for 2 years, is beyond me. Top Fuel and Funny Cars make a heck of lot more noise than a thunder storm. Maybe it's the flash just before the noise, who knows? This morning, the sun is filtering through the pine trees, so I think the storm is gone, at least for now.
