June 6 from Newport, WA

Greetings from the Washington-Idaho border!

Some in our party complain that we were not suitably "mentally prepared" for the transition into Idaho, but it has been over a week in Washington! Still, we expect to miss Washington and the Northern Cascade Range very much when we are on the long open flats in Montana and North Dakota.

Liz had a lovely birthday on the road, even though the weather has been dismal. We have not had a night without rain since the night we had frost in Wauconda. Birthday dinner was delicious chilli and s'mores by the Pend Oreille River. Liz got a back massage from her sisters as a birthday present.

We saw our first moose today! No photo unfortunately. It was a gangly teenager that stood and stared at us for a while before running off.

Camping is still going well. We are eating a lot and we still haven't had to stay in a motel yet!

We are really looking forward to meeting up with Mom & Dad at Glacier National Park on Tuesday.

Best to you all! Thanks for reading!

your pictures are fantastic. And you all are still smiling! Doesn't look like you have had many sunbathing opportunities. Let us know if you need more warm clothes to bring on Tuesday.
