map!) at the Brooks Hotel and it was a nice meal today.

| The Brooks Hotel - nice meal. We continued on our way and it was a “Kodak” day for me. The endless scenery was breathtaking - wheat fields for miles and miles with the mountains shimmering and hazy in the distance. |

| Wheat Fields for Miles Upon Miles! |
We had to keep stopping to the dismay of the teens who really wanted to get home as we’d had no internet for four days! One small town after another - all the same and yet different. There aren’t enough words to describe it all and the photos I took don’t do it justice one bit - We’ve been luckily blessed to see this all!

| Hot Dog! |
We saw a smoky cloud north of us in the distance that we could only guess was a fire as over the next 1/2 hour we passed and were passed by numerous fire and rescue vehicles hurrying in that direction. I’m not surprised at this at all because the temperature hovered between 98* and 106* all day.
We travelled on Hwy. 2 through from Couer d’Alene to the I-5 - we prefer the lesser travelled roads - we see so much more that way. When we came to Leavenworth, Wa. it was closed because of fire - two in one day! We had to detour through Chumstick and Plain,WA. joining the #2 again just past Lake Wenatchee at Cole's Corner,Wa. Another fantastic back road with amazing things to see - including a train carrying the fuselage of 1/2 dozen old jet planes.
We got to the Angel of the Winds Casino just before 8:00 PM. and had dinner there from Katie’s Kitchen - Fish & Chips, or Hot Dog and Chili Fries depending who you were! We spent some time in the casino (lets not talk about that LOL) and then off to bed. We got up about 8:00 and headed for home - sadly arriving back home at 10:00 AM! Blogging this at home now we have internet.
