It’s taken a while to get this all together, but Deb and I have finally finished compiling the pictures from our summer trip. (OK…it was mostly Deb’s work.) There are 192 pictures in a Facebook album titled Scott and Deb’s Excellent RV Adventures: The Great Northwest & Canada 2014. We have had some issues with Image Shack hosting our pictures here on VAF and they now require money to host them, so we’ve decided to just keep everything on Facebook. The photo album is public, but you must have a Facebook account to view it.
We really enjoy this kind of trip in the plane -- what I mean by that is, stopping and spending a few days at various places and then continuing on to the next destination. We visited Missoula, MT (ran into Vlad there), then on to Coeur d’Alene, ID to visit my sister. We took a short side trip up into Canada and spent a night in Vernon, BC. We stopped for pie in Chilliwack and saw some incredible scenery along the way. After that, it was back into the USA with an overnighter on Orcas Island and then some time in and around the Seattle area. Took the Boeing factory tour and went to the Arlington Fly-In for a day.
We had an outstanding time flying the Great Northwest, made several new friends, and ran into a few old ones. We were fortunate to have absolutely perfect weather for the entire eight days of the trip.
If you have a Facebook account and some spare time on your hands, take a look. Deb has added captions to all the pics. If you click on the link and start with the first picture, they will be in chronological order.
Enjoy.

A few teaser pictures for those of you who don't have FB.
Day 1: What are the odds that two people from Colorado (on their way to Idaho) would run into a Russian-born RV flyer from New Jersey (on his way to the Aleutian Islands off the Alaskan Peninsula) at Missoula International Airport?
Day 3: the Kootenay River snakes its way around fields of vibrant yellow canola flowers in the Creston Valley of BC, Canada
Day 3: nice view of the Brilliant (hydroelectric) Dam on the Kootenay River near Castlegar, BC, Canada -- this is the confluence of the Kootenay (foreground) and Columbia rivers
Day 5: Scotty spots a pretty little lake nestled in amongst the hills.
Regards,
