Windy Wanapum

Looking at the Columbia from our camp spot.

When we arrived home from our big Yuma adventure, we took the truck to our mechanics and had them take care of all the little repairs needed so we could feel good about traveling. After waiting for the repairs to be completed for almost two weeks, we were ready to take a short drive to Wanapum Recreation Area near Vantage on the Columbia River.  Our very good friends, Caroline and Don, from Westport, WA, were traveling our way to attend the graduation of their granddaughter from WSU.  We met them about halfway between their house and WSU at the Wanapum Campground, and enjoyed catching up on our lives.

Windy and a bit cool.

We spent three nights at the campground. The first two nights, the wind blew harder than I have ever felt in our camper. It shook everything and made it hard to sleep. During the day, the wind let up a bit. Caroline had parked their trailer in a position that blocked most of the wind. We were able to sit in the sun and chat. Visiting those two is always so nice; we love their company.

On Thursday, we had to get up early and head back to Post Falls. I had an appointment in the afternoon, so we hit the road at about 8 AM and were home by noon. We love spending time with Don and Caroline. We wish we could get together more often.
