Neighbors

One side effect of this journey thus far is a renewal that America is full of really, really nice people. The beauty of camping is that you inevitably start talking to you neighbor or someone in the bathroom or wherever...something we would be missing if we were hoteling it across the country. People are generally courteous about moving over on the roadways to "give me 3 feet." A county sheriff stopped at the junction of 2 highways to make sure I got across the intersection safely. Really?! Thank you, very nice people for looking out for your neighbors. One irony of the whole situation is that we literally had the same neighbors for 3 nights in a row. It takes until about mid-day for us to make a plan for the evening...depending on weather, road conditions, elevation, etc. Anyways, there is one in a million chance that we would meet the same people (who are driving from place to place) at any of the hundreds of campgrounds in this neck of the woods. But I guess I could say that these are the one in a million type of people. Just wanted to send a shout out to them for their friendship and participation in this journey. Cheers to Bill and Robin...until we meet again!

Our neighbors: Bill and Robin

Kettle Falls: Who is the one grouch? Hahaha
