Not an auspicious beginning. The weather decided not to cooperate. I've been watching the forecast which has said "Rain until 11, thunderstorms after". Gah!
I love thunderstorms but would love even more to sit in my chair on my front porch and watch the lightning, preferably with a glass of something in hand. If you care to comment, what's your go-to beverage for summer thunderstorms? I've been shifting to cocktails and away from mixed drinks. Things like Old Fashioneds, Negronis, etc. When I drink gin it's poured over ice. Gone are the days of tonic water and lime.
Hit the road about 0830. Not really raining but threw the rain jacket on and wore chaps, which I wasnt planning on. On and off rain. Stopped at the Harley dealer cause they had some special order small parts for me. Wasnt going to get them now but they open in 10 minutes so good chance for bathroom break. They have a 260th Anniversary edition which I love.
On down the road. Highway 2 to Wenatchee and beyond. All the way to Newport, really, although at some point Google decided I should take a bunch of side roads before getting back on 2. I assume they had their reasons. Weather promised thunderstorms as well as rain but the former never materialized thankfully.
Why is that picture upside down? No idea. It isn't upside down in my phone. Oh well.
KOA just outside of Newport is nice. Ive stayed here before. Friendly staff, good amenities. Can recommend. Tomorrow up to Kalispell and then down to Missoula. Need to stop at a sporting goods store cause I forgot fuel and refills for mosquito repeller.
