Gary’s Jeep and Boat
Gary shot this photo of his jeep and boat. He says it really helps to have the jeep for putting the boat into tight, uneven locations on small lakes, like the one below at Binnewater Lake in Rosendale, NY. Looks like a beautiful day for sailing.

Saturday’s Trip to Mica, Washington
Ann’s cousin invited us to spend the night at her place Saturday night near Spokane, Washington. Normally the drive via the interstate takes just over two hours. We managed to make it last six by following an off-the-beaten path through the Palouse area of Washington. Here are a few of our adventures.
Our plan to leave at 9am was thwarted when I turned off the 7am alarm. I decided I wasn’t in enough hurry to leave that early. By the time we reached our first destination, Connell (only 30 miles from the house), we decided to eat some lunch. As we toured downtown, we ran across several ‘picnic’ tables with sculptures of squirrels on them. Here are Ann with our trusty cat-dog Zollie.
Under the hand of one squirrel is a ‘mortgage’ document. The squirrel is trying to get the rabbits to sign a loan. The money is being borrowed from Mr. Coyote. As best we could tell, this was the most exciting thing happening in Connell.
From Connell we left the Interstate and drove toward the tiny town of Kahlotus. Here’s a view through our front window:
When we arrived in Kahlotus, I spotted a trailer with the most unusual fenders. Ever seen anything like this? Both sides used worn tires as fenders.

No Updates Saturday Night or Sunday
No updates for Sunday. We toured the backroads of the Washington’s Palouse area on Saturday. On Sunday we’ll be heading up to Spokane. From there we haven’t decided where we are heading. So, no updates tonight or Sunday, but I’ll make sure there will be something for Monday.
On the jeep hunting front, we found and took pics of a great old fiberglass racer in parked in ‘downtown’ Benge, Washington.
Here’s a photo from Steptoe Butte State Park, a place that has a 360 degree view of Washington’s Palouse area. We just happened by the entrance; I’d never heard of the place. Here’s Ann, I and Zollie (short for Zoloft) looking north over the surrounding farmlands.
