Saturday, July 17th
















I will tell you about yesterday, July 16th, we left Omak, WA & saw some beautiful country, some of it kind of looked like MT & some of it like WY between Larmie & Cheyenne, it is interesting how some of this cournty looks alike. We stopped in Colfax, WA to see Darlene & Mike Kroll, Don worked for Darlene's dad drilling water wells when he was in seminary. It was really fun to see them, they have been friends for about 46 years.

We traveled on to White Bird, ID, which is on the beautiful Salmon River & all the way through WA & into ID it was beautiful, it was also very warm but we drank a lot of water & made it to Donna Gabica's in fine shape. She was in our Star church & we have known her for 32 years. She has a lovely home & it was really fun to stay with her. Her son Doug & a couple friends came from Ferdanand, ID for supper & we had a great time visiting. It was my birthday & Donna knew that & had a birthday dinner with cake & all, it was lovely. This morning she took us for a drive to the "top" to see where their cattle run, & OH MY it was beautiful up there. I hope Don's pictures does it justice. Donna is an excellent driver & I wasn' t even scared. :) We got back to her home abut noon & we left for home & she went to help a cowboy move some cattle.

We got home about 6:30, Joy, Paco & Javi were here with Elmer & Louella to welcome us & it is great to be home. Elmer & Louella are going to stay in our home while we go to OR next week for Yearly Meeting. God has blessed us with a wonderful family & friends & I say it again God IS good. We rode the motorcycle 7113 miles and drove Susie's car 945 so we travelled 8058 miles. Quite a trip.
