Greetings Humans – today is Sunday, Jerrie’s birthday, and we successfully traversed the treacherous roads between Moses Lake and Yakima. No dents, no dings, and still have gas in the tanks. It was cool enough on the trip that we didn’t have to run the generator for the A/C. It even sprinkled on us a little as we drove.

Before we left the fairgrounds, we lined up our chairs along the exit road and waved at all the multi-hundred-thousand-dollar rigs as they left. It was pathetic, but they all left with a smile, and we had a wonderful time. We’re like the poor cousins to this organization, and it’s OK. We can find parts in Wal*Mart to fix ours – they can’t. But, they’re really, really, nice inside.

Today’s drive was relatively short. Only about 100 miles. We are currently parked in one of the 30 RV sites at the Yakima Elks Club #318. It’s pretty nice. Has it’s own very large golf course. I suspect it’s a thriving club.

After we got all hooked up, we all piled into Susie and Cliff’s rig, which is a Toyota Itasca Spirit, and easy to park. It also gets 16 mpg, which ours don’t. Terry and Carolann have a tow car but it’s a tiny little Ford Festiva, and it’s full of “stuff” that wouldn’t fit in their RV.

We went to dinner to celebrate my birthday, which was nice. We ate at Old Country Buffet which was perfect because it has food to fit everyone’s taste. I ate too much, but it was really, really good. I had seven kinds of chicken and a piece BBQ ribs. Didn’t even get any on me. I was very proud. So was Diane.
