Day Seven: Sunday, May 06, 2007

Pete and I are in Marble, Washington on a 28.8 modem, so everyone will have to wait for the numerous photos we took today. We are well into the second bottle of wine, I’ve successfully convinced Pete to continue into Canada for a few more days. (Told you Bob!)

I don’t know how easy it will be to connect over the next few days, but I’ll update the blog the first time we find high speed access.

The update:

Ah, high speed access!

After enjoying the Moon’s gracious hospitality, Pete and I left for Marble. Until this picture (taken by Mr. Moon as we left) I had no I idea that Robert De Niro was along for the ride…

Robert De Niro?

Sunshine again! We spent the day enjoying a slow, multi-stop ride up the Columbia River on Hwy 25, it is some beautiful country:

Sunday night we had the pleasure of staying with dear friends of mine, Dave & Sue Chambers. Their hospitality is overwhelming as they had just returned home from a multi-week trip about 90 minutes before we arrived.

and, with only dial-up available, this is how we ended the day…

End of a perfect day...

PS: File under the categories of “count your blessings” and “don’t always believe MapQuest.” Dave also informed me that “Camp Road” from Day Two was the ill fated route taken by CNET Editor James Kim and his family in December of o6.

    Bill, Thanks so much for letting us all tag along like this. We got a little heat wave here, so I am sitting by a fan, enjoying a good beer, and looking at your snow pictures. Looking forward to updates, Rich

    Glad you are enjoying it Rich – drink a beer for me! And Pete says have another one for him.
