Next we were off to Pullman to try and find the house that Lydia's parents lived in when she was born. We were saddened to see that it had been taken down and a large fraternity house had been built on the site. Walked the old town and saw the campus ... Go Cougars!! Nonetheless, we had a nice time in Pullman at the city campground. We had several Magpies that would wait none to patiently for us to provide them with peanuts on the picnic table.
After Pullman we headed off for Yakima and the Sportsmen State Park on the East side of town. This was a great spot to rest up and prepare ourselves for the next days journey home. If you ever happen to be in Yakima and looking for a good camping spot, this is it. We had a great site with full hookups minus WiFi and cable but it didn't matter to us at all. Wonderful ponds and an interpretive trail for good birding as you can see.
The following morning we pulled out and headed for home back on Whidbey Island. It was nice to be back in our own home once again but after three months on the road the house certainly seemed larger than when we left. Our house sitter is to be commended here as flowers, a spotless house, and our attended birds were wonderful to come home to. Today we unpacked the truck and trailer, got a little lawn mowed and put water back in the hot tub. Yes, it is cool enough here to get in the tub again, eat your hearts out!! Tomorrow it is time to restock the pantry and get the truck and trailer washed and ready for our next trip into Canada and the Selkirk Loop. We will let you know when the blog is ready to go again.
Phil & Lydia
