May 11th, up the Chewuch

Image
 Today we went north up the Chewuch Road to 30 mile. This area had a fire the summer of 2001. There were 4 firefighters that lost their lives in this fire. All because someone left a unattended fire. It burned over 9000 acres of forest land along with the 30 Mile Campground. There is a memorial on the way to the trailhead. The road needs work, a lot of wash board, trees, rocks, water over the road... at the very end, large area of water to make it to the trailhead.

May 10th, up the mountains

Image
 We took off first thing this morning to do our annual thing, go over the mountains. The snow was not a deep as some years, but the temp at the top of Washington Pass was only 49 degrees. We got back to Winthrop and had dinner with Emele at the Old School House. Great burgers and beer. I was awesome to see Emele. We haven't seen her since 2019...

May 9th, Pearrygin State Park

 Finally we got out of the Spokane area.  We were only planning on staying for a week, but we ended up there almost a month. But, we finally got Roxanne felling better! I topped off the fuel tank before we left, I was just above the half way mark... $120.00 ouch... The kids better start sending money... We now are in site #15. Not very level, I have my front tires off the ground. This park slopes towards the lake. I need get some 2"x6" boards for addition height. 

Still at Northern Quest

 Well, our plan was to head north after our week here, but, again things change. On the way to both of our dentist appointments, Roxanne's doctor called told her that he got back her blood work results. He wanted to go to the emergency room now. She spent the next several days in the hospital getting all sorts of tests. Her hemoglobin was just above 3... wow, no wonder she had no energy. Anyway, 4 pints of new blood and we got her back to the coach. Then this week she sees here doctor again and hopefully we will be heading the Pearrygin Lake on Sunday. I already had to cancel reservations before. The good news is Roxanne is already walking. Yesterday she did over 2 miles! Not bad for someone a week ago had to rest after getting a bottle of water from the fridge.
