The first trip was doing the Selkirk Loop. We headed first to eastern Washington, then northern Idaho, then British Columbia. We highly recommend.
We headed to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. It was beautiful, nice hikes, good place to ride our bikes and the added bonus was that the Kokanee salmon were swimming up river to spawn.
We stopped in Colville for fuel and to stock up on food and then headed to to Steamboat Rock Campground in Eastern Washington.
Along the way:
Heading towards home -west along the Columbia
The second road trip was in our new car "Otto" - visiting friends and family. First stop was visiting my two nieces in Oregon and my sister who is recovering from surgery. From there we headed to Santa Cruz to visit Jim's college friend Joel and his wife Judy. We had a fun three days there catching up :
with Joel and Judy.
Next stop was a three day visit with our cruising friends Jim and Jean (Kanga) in Livermore, CA. We went for walks, a drive around wine country, ate some wonderful food at some great restaurants, and went for a sail on a nearby Lake Del Valle (maiden voyage for their new to them day sailer). And we got to meet Molly:
The last stop was with Jim's brother in San Francisco. It's always fun to visit him and we had an added bonus because my good friend from middle school and high school drove up to SF from Palo Alto to spend a day with us.
It had been a long time since we were able to take a road trip and it was great to get out in the world again. Jim continues to slowly improve. His next scans will be in a month or two which will tell us how he is progressing.
