6/6/17 Washington

Not too much to report today. Spent the morning in Idaho doing laundry. Much better experience this time. 

I don't know how I forgot to post our last laundry experience in Jackson, Wyoming. We went to a local, fancy laundromat and put our stuff in the dryer and paid a whole $1.00 for the dryer time. Went across the parking lot for a couple minutes to get a few groceries only to come back and my heart sunk when I looked in our dryer and it wasn't our clothes. I looked around the carts and none of it was familiar. So I went out and got Kyle, who finally saw our clothes had been moved to another dryer. This local moved our clothes and took our dryer time! We knew exactly who it was as his clothes were still in the dryer. We confronted him and he suddenly couldn't speak any English, of course. He looked as guilty as guilty looks and started getting real nervous when we pointed out all cameras. His friend then came up and pretended like his clothes were missing to cover for his friend. I know this, because 2 minutes later I found him around he corner folding his clothes. But what are you gonna do, our clothes weren't missing. So we had to wait around another 20 minutes till our clothes dried. 

Anyway, it's funny now but was really annoying then. Who steals a dollars worth of dryer time? Can't trust anyone these days. 

Drove from Idaho to Washington. Washington was not what I expected but I really don't remember the state. We went from beautiful forests to dry dessert to beautiful mountains. 

Drove through Colville National Forest which was amazing. Would love to spend some time in that forest but the timing wasn't quite right. 

Then hit some desertous areas. The pics don't represent how funky the Moutain formations were. 

Hit two forest fires. The one was a prescribed burn, not sure if the other was or not. 

The main highway was shut down so we had to take a 1.5 hour detour around getting us to our campsot much later than we had hoped. 

But we were able to find another great dispersed campsot in Okanogan National Forest right outside of the North Cascades National Park. Passed through the town of Winthrop, which is an awesome old western town I'd love to explore if it wasn't getting so late. 

We drove up a steep dirt road and found the perfect spot back in. Finally stayed up till past dark. The days are so long here! It's daylight from 430-930.
