THE REAL TRIP BEGINS

Ellensburg, WA  KOA

So the first real day of travel towing the truck was from the Casino over Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades and to Ellensburg a whole 132 miles.  Towing the truck and taking on a mountain pass was a good test on our shake down cruise.  Everything is still working great.  This campground is our first place with full hook ups so we don't need to use the generator or the tanks.  It was a bit of a squeeze getting in here.  This KOA was really not built for larger rigs like NORV but we got squeezed in and are settled and I now have the bugs cleaned off the front of the coach.  We will be here two nights, not because Ellensburg is all that scenic or exciting but we are still figuring out some of the systems and figuring out where we want to store things and who gets what drawer in the bedroom.  We have more space but space is still a valuable commodity on a motor home.  I got the satellite dish working at the casino and it works here too so we were able to sit outside in the shade of a tree and watch the Seahawks lose.  Tomorrw we will make a run thorugh downtown Ellensburg for one or two little hardware items and Arlyene wants to go to the big Fruit Market on the edge of town.  I don't know what the high temperature here was today but it was pretty darn warm.  that's OK, we have air conditioners if we need them.  That's about it for today.
