Long overdue posting these pictures, but here they are! We left Aug 13 and overnighted in Merritt, BC, then headed to Sequim (pronounced Skwim) Washington for the 14th. Then headed to Seaside, OR, then to Coos Bay, OR, headed inland, and overnighted in Roseberg, OR. Headed up to Wenatchee, WA and overnighted there. Stopped at Winthrop, WA (must see town!) and stayed in Kimberley, BC. Then home again. Here's the pix!
