It is the evening of May 29th and we are staying just outside the bustling little berg of Winthrop , Washington. We have had some eventful days.
Our good friend Gary Edington (Jackson, Wyoming) picked us up and we began our journey from st. Ignatius to the Pacific coast on the evening of Wednesday May 26th. We spent the night in a wayside rest area before heading on to SeaTac airport to pick up big brother Tom on the Afternoon of the 27th.
