An easy day of driving Highway 90 from Kent to Spokane for an earlyish night and some good rest.
Woke up in Kent and did the usual morning routine. Tea, breakfast, breakdown camp and pack up the car.
Had a lovely chat with the couple camped next to us while waiting for TJ. They are on vacation from Reno where they had just moved to. A few weeks back it was their first experience with the influx of burners going to burning man. She said to me "and one day I walked into Whole Foods and people had yarn in their hair and they were all so colorful." I snickered to myself allowing her to continue. "I would like to go one day but I have nothing to trade." That was my cue...we then chatted more about bm culture and the 10 principles especially about Gifting and how it differs from bartering. She got it by the end and seemed appreciative of the bit of new found understanding.
Soon we were off to visit with Maggie. Someone went out and got himself a job, most likely to avoid seeing us, or we would have seen Noah G also.
We headed in to Seattle proper to meet up with Maggie. We had a yummy lunch at Griddle and went to see the locks that seperate the freshwater lake from the Puget Sound. Interesting to see the boats go up and down. We timed it just right and watched a tour boat decend to Puget Sound. We got the whole audio tour. Perfect timing. Noah and Maggie are doing well. Bear their dog has a few issues though. He was really friendly with TJ and I....if you know what I mean. ;) We had a good laugh at his expense, a short hello to Noah over the phone and we were off again.

Headed east on 90. We wanted again to camp in National Park lands and gave it a shot near Spokane in Fishtrap Recreational Area but it was just open scrub. We didnt feel comfortable in the open like that and were glad we made that decision when the rain came. Found a KOA with late check in and a tent spot with a covered picnic rable to set up for the night. Beans and franks for dinner under the shelter while listening to the rain. A couple of yummy local beers later it was time for bed. Another awesome day. Tomorrow we have to cover some ground through Idaho and Montana.
