7/4/13 Less hot is good

Had some opportunities to photograph pelicans on the Columbia, except for unsafe conditions.

About 10:30 am we arrived at a bucolic RV camp on the Walla Walla River, Hwy 12 a few miles before Touchet, a few more beyond that and we'll be in Walla Walla tomorrow. We thought the price was a little steep for no showers, but figured we're paying it forward so they can install showers for future campers. Also the location suits us, as it breaks up what would have been a long hot slog all the way into WW.
We're looking forward tomorrow to our first dose of hospitality via the website warmshowers.org. All preliminary contacts indicate this will be a excellent experience.

One of of our required shopping duties tomorrow will be replacement tires for Mark, who is way out ahead in the flat tire derby.

Once again we're facing a lazy afternoon with abundant shade and temps today in the mid 80's. happy Independence Day to one and all. I'm missing the festivities at Higher Ground, but not sorry to miss the crash-bang-pop that accompanies it. In that regard I must be approaching the temperament of a dog in my old age.
