WEATHER: High around 80. Cool at night
We took our time at the Dent Acres Army Corps of Engineer campground, enjoying coffee and breakfast outside at the picnic table overlooking the water.
We had only about a 150-mile trip to Walla Walla. We followed the Clearwater River for awhile, then the scenery turned into farmland - wheat and peas mostly.
At lunchtime, there was nothing much around, and my refrigerator was pretty empty, so we stopped in a Mexican restaurant in a little town, the only thing we could find open. Wouldn't you know it....30 miles later we passed a cute-looking brewpub with food. Oh well.
We arrived in Walla Walla at about 3:00. We are housesitting here for about a week. Then, the drama began. George tried to back the camper into the driveway of the home where we are housesitting. The driveway has a big slope, so the equipment, like the sewage system, on the bottom was hitting the pavement. We tried all sorts of ways, including laying down 2 X 4s to make a "bridge", but we couldn't make it work. Finally, we gave up and parked the Airstream on the street. Not ideal. Tomorrow perhaps we can park it in their back alley. We need to test the sewer pipe to see if any damage occured.
The homeowners are also housesitters through Trusted Housesitters. They are on their way to a housesit near Bend, Oregon. So, we will take care of their house and dog while they housesit caring for someone else's house and cat. Neat!
They live in the historic district of Walla Walla. In the evening, we took the dog for a walk and enjoyed looking at the beautiful old homes and their gardens.
DINNER: The homeowner grlled salmon with a wonderful sauce. Roasted potatoes and coleslaw on the side. We ate outdorrs, enjoying a beautiful evening.
