Day Four of our Journey

Clark Fork in Montana and Idaho

















Washington was definitely not what we pictured. There were field and field of Alfalfa and Potatoes - who knew there were such large farms in WA.


Started the day in Missoula, Montana and have ended it in Ellensberg, Washington. We traveled across Montana, Idaho and Washington today. We are ahead of the schedule we set for ourselves and will go into Vancouver tomorrow. We thought we would take the opportunity to explore Vancouver on July 1st. Our ship departs Vancouver on July 2nd - Alaska here we come.




We saw some beautiful scenery again today - here are a few pictures of today's journey.









Columbia River in WA - a federal government reclamation project is taking place around this amazing Gorge.



A couple of observations from our first 4 days,
1. Insects are NOT an endangered species if our windsheild is any indication.
2. We saw hundreds of Pronghorn Antelope in Wyoming, but only one or two anywhere else.
Either you cannot hunt Pronghorn in Wyoming, or hunters there are lousy shots.
3. Pine Trees rule the mountains.
4. Orange Barrels rule the highways.
