About Today
It was overcast (or hazy from smoke?) when we woke at 8:00. The windows were closed and the fans were off all night. We had no ash inside the trailer, but the flat surfaces outside were dusted with it.
We were on the road by 10:00.
The Route
We took I-90 from Missoula, through Coeur d' Alene, to Spokane. We then went north on US-2 to Mead. Total travel distance was 199 miles.
Along the Way
The winds shifted overnight, the smoke began to clear and visibility improved as we drove. Sunshine peeked through from time to time and we had a few light sprinkles. The temperature reached the low 80s.

The Campground
We're staying at Alderwood RV Resort tonight. It's rated as one of the top 10 U.S. resorts. The staff is friendly and helpful, the services are extensive and the sites are quite attractive. We felt the rating was a stretch. The sites are narrow, the internet is slow and the site utility connections are placed in an inconvenient location.

Tomorrow
We're aiming for Boardman, OR tomorrow.
