Cross Country Tour – Day 33

30 September 2016

The route to Spokane took me back to Port Angeles then along highway 101, and then surprisingly to highway 104 through a really beautiful community called Port Gamble, then to Kingston and then by ferry to Edmonds.  I had not anticipated the ferry and it was a large one – a double decker.  The efficiency of getting cars and transfer trucks on and off is pretty amazing.

I caught a glimpse of the Space Needle while driving through Seattle and I was also surprised at the number of tunnels through Seattle.  Trees are beginning to get their fall foliage so the drive was especially interesting.

The mountains in that area are great and the road system gets you through without any problem.  Then you hit the long, long stretch on the eastern side of the Casades that misses being classified as a desert by less than 2 inches of rainfall a year. Because of irrigation, it is anything but desert-like – quite lush, actually.  I remember reading about labor unrest in this area during the Great Depression which at times got very bloody and brutal.

I did not anticipate the beauty of eastern Washington.  It was worth the long drive and it reminded me somewhat of Montana.

I checked into the Davenport Lusso, a boutique hotel across the street from the historic Davenport of Spokane.  This is probably the biggest hotel room I’ve stayed in this trip and its plush and relatively inexpensive for the night.  It seems I got an up grade in rooms.

I had dinner last night across the street in the Davenport’s Palm Court restaurant.  Their claim to fame is Crab Louie, created at the Davenport and named after the owner Louie Davenport.  It was a huge salad with plenty of Dungeness crab. I highly recommend it.  I’ve seen Crab Louie on the menu at other locations but it was nice to have it where it originated.

Today is a drive to Grouse Mountain Lodge outside Glacier National Park.

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
