From Bozeman we moved north to Helena for a quick stop at Kirk and Donna's beautiful new home, then on to the Seeley Lake area. Weather is partly cloudy and thunderstorms and we are back in our 'northwest' clothes. Spent the night in Northern Montana and then traveled today through the Idaho panhandle and crossed the border into Washington. Got caught in a thunderstorm with hail and hard rain near Sandpoint but our campground tonight near Priest River is peaceful and nearly deserted with the sun poking through the trees. Heading across the state up north to visit an old friend in Twisp for the night and then across over the North Cascades Pass. "Pearl" has been running like the little jewel that she is and it has been a great trip. It has been '40 days and 40 nights' in our little ark and other than a few GPS hiccups and resulting skirmishes between the unlucky driver and navigator ('Well, where the hell are we then???) we have enjoyed every minute of it. We will be home soon. Thanks to all of you for taking this vacation with us. We have had a great time and are already talking about our next trip. For those of you that have asked us to bring some sunshine back with us we are sad to inform you that we don't think we can pull it off. We left the last reliable sun in the middle of Wyoming. We have had to struggle to stay with good weather and be flexible and willing to crisscross the areas as we moved to stay ahead of the unseasonable spring all across the west during this trip. See you all soon.
