The tent saga continues. Our goal today was to find another tent, and since we were only 30 miles from Clarkston, Wa., and Lewiston, Idaho, we were very hopeful since they are good sized towns. They are separated by the Snake River, which is the state line between Washington and Idaho. As luck would have it, we found an MSR tent very similar to the one we broke and only few ounces heavier. But now Dave was carrying two tents. Some very nice people then pointed us to a WinCo, a grocery store that's like a cross between Aldi and Costco, and we bought stuff for dinner and breakfast. We rode a trail south along the Snake and camped at Hell's Gate State Park, just south of Lewiston, which was perfect. The visitor's center had information about Lewis and Clark's expedition.
Pretty about campground showers. We didn't have to pay extra for them, but they were the kind that you have to punch the button (that's nothing new), button the water stopped as soon as you let go! It wasn't easy. Dave likened it to the 3 minute showers in 3 second spurts.
The new tent is great, we actually like it better, and the next town has a post office.
Things have a way of working out.
All is well, and we're having a great time.
