Mill Creek WA -- The end of the trip, but not the blog.

Home at last. Another high mileage day (615) with an hour break in Spokane to check in on Marilyn's brother (he is recovering, but as of Friday afternoon, his doctor was still not entirely happy with everything, so they are keeping him another day). We stopped for lunch in Moses Lake -- El Rodeo's Mexican restaurant is very good. Since Tamales are made with white corn (Masa), I can usually find something without wheat in Mexican restaurants. Not much to say about the day except that Butte has a really pretty setting, and the Western mountains are way different than the Eastern ones! We crossed the Continental Divide coming into Butte at about 6900 feet, and the ride into Spokane was mostly down hill. Spokane to home is an easy 4 hour drive, so we pressed on over the Cascades and arrived home at about 7:00 last night.

Lots of chores to do this morning, so this will have to do for now.

For the readers not completely bored at this juncture, remember I left off in the middle of the Natchez Trace. I will pick up the detailed story line at the birth place of Elvis Presley, Tupalo Mississippi, and maybe trace his path North to Nashville Tennessee.

Where EXACTLY did you see Elvis. Did he still fit in the jumpsuit?
