#11-29 Richmond, WA–Missoula, MT 8-25 thru 29-2011

Our first stop in our continuing journey (after “bump in the road” broken hip) was Richland, WA.  Only 60+ miles from Yakima.  We didn’t want to push it too fast!  We had to see just how much driving Frank could do and how it affected him.  He did great.  So to celebrate we went out to dinner.  I had read about this restaurant in a brochure.  It is an old dining car from a train that has been converted into a stationary place to eat.  Monterosso’s served very good Italian food.  Probably the best marinara sauce I’ve ever had.  We were impressed.

On our way to MT we drove through Couer d’alene, ID.  Above is the lake.It is beautiful and big.  These pictures were taken through the passenger side window as we drove by.
On to Missoula MT to visit our Palm Desert neighbors, Rick and Tish Slavens.  Boy was this de ja vue.  Reminded us of the time that Rick broke his leg and we got together and just had a good time in Palm Desert in our garage!  Thanks Rick and Tish for the tour and the good food and good company we really enjoyed our two day visit.
