Hi Gals & Guys,

Finally blew-town on Saturday May 26th.
New Pirelli STR Tyres installed, fresh oil in
the WBX and bills paid for the next three months.
Geezus, the myriad of details it takes to get on
the road takes longer than the trip itself..... if
you know what I mean.

Anywho, about a mile South of town I am yelling (to myself):
Yippee, hurrah I'm free, I'm free... free at last! Sorry
Dr. King, I know what you had in mind with this pontification
was not intended for white-guy schmucks like me but, the feeling
is perhaps similar. So much for Socio-political/Philosophical
mumblings... I am On-The-Road to Westie Bliss, Nirvana or Valhalla.

First stop was a lack-luster Rest-Stop East of Moses Lk, Washington
for some sleep at 10:00PM.... Zzzzzzzzzz, I sleep well in rest-stops.
Sunday morning I joined the WetWestie Camp-out at Admiral Farragut
(AKA Damn the torpedoes full-speed ahead) State Park on beautiful
Lake Pend Oreille. Thanks to Cami & Brian for hosting. Many familiar
faces and a some really great new folks to meet and play show and tell
with our westies. They left me nearly the whole park on Monday night.

Tuesday took me East on ID/MT state routes 200/28/93 to one of my favorite
National (international) jewels, Glacier-Waterton Peace Park. Hoped to
transit Going to the Sun Road for the view and test both mine and the westies
lungs at the top of 6646ft/2025m Logan Pass.... Not! Snow still blocks the road or slide damage until an estimated opening of early July this year. So, here I sit on the shores of Lake McDonald at Sprague Creek Camp Site with a bunch of Tent-Campers.....
who looked very annoyed at me this morning as I fired up the Espar furnace for some heat. Well, gosh it was all of 52 inside the Westie!

Off to find some Wi-Fi and head towards Regina, SK. George, put on the coffee!

Regards
