About Us

United Kingdom
Couple of retirees who really enjoy travel - particularly roadtrips to the deserts and prairies. We suspect we must be nomads as characterised by Richard Grant as RV resident retiree nomads in his book "Ghost Riders"

Update from Spokane, Washington

Wed 28 Sep
Didn't stay in Great Falls, but continued North through Lewis & Clark National Forest, very picturesque, and then on through open prairies to Cut Bank for the night.

Thu 29 Sep
Left Cut Bank and headed West to Glacier National Park at St. Mary entrance. Spectacular. Most amenities were closed for the season, but the drive through on the Road to the Sun had wonderful views. At the Logan Pas the temperature was 35 deg F, pretty chilly. Even the loos were closed and we had to use PortaPotties!

Went through Kalispell where we stopped for a late lunch at BoJangle's Diner. Unlike the morning, it was raining in the afternoon so we just pressed on and spent the night at Sandpoint, Idaho. Nice little place. Went out in the evening to a sports bar where we had a few drinks.

Fri 30 Sep
Before leaving Sandpoint, we drove down to the lake where a sand beach forms part of a lakeside park. We are now continuing West along the US2, having stopped at Spokane so we can use the internet. We plan to visit the Grand Coulee Dam this afternoon. That's all for now or we shall get a parking ticket.
