We planned to meet with Suzanne, Roy, Donna and Greg at the Sweet Grass Cafe for breakfast but when we got there the cafe was closed until 11:00. After everyone showed up we decided to have breakfast at the buffet.
The buffet breakfast was good. All the food we have had at the casino was very good.
After breakfast we said our good bye’s.
Of course Patti had to try one more machine before we left. When her $20.00 was gone we headed back to the RV to hook up the jeep and take off.
We left around 11:30.
The trip to Plymouth, WA was uneventful. We hit some rain around Spokane, WA but a little south of there the rain tapered off and we only encountered occasional light showers for the rest of the trip to Plymouth.
We traveled down Hwy 395 from Spokane to Pasco where we turned off onto Hwy 12 and followed the Columbia River around the bend to the Oregon side.
When we got to the 395 bridge we crossed it going north back to the Washington side.
We turned west to the town of Plymouth where we turned toward the river and entered Plymouth Park (a Corps of Engineers RV park). Bill told us about this park and we are very grateful to him. The park is small but very nice with lots of trees and lawns. If you have a Golden Age Pass it only costs $12.00 per night for full hookups.
The park is just downstream from the Mc Nary Dam.
As we crossed the river we noticed a large barge being pushed upstream by a tug boat. We got to wondering if the dam had locks to raise the barge.
Today we are going to go to the dam and see if we can get some pictures of the locks at work. We are also planning to take a ride down the Oregon side of the river to see if we can find some waterfalls.
It rained last night and is raining now. The forecast is for more rain for the next couple of days.
