Ellensburg, Washington

8/30/13

This morning we decide that the road ahead may not be the best for a motor home knowing Highway 20 had been closed due to a landslide on August 11th (now re-opened).  So we decided we would both feel better if we took the long way around back down to Mt. Vernon, down I-5 to Seattle, and the I-90 east even though a few extra hours were required.


The weather was beautiful as we headed through the Seattle area.  On I-90 east of Seattle we encountered a major traffic jam due to an accident.  One thing we have learned is that slow or stopped traffic while you are traveling in a motor home is no problem!  Sit back, have lunch, use the restroom – all right at your fingertips.  Joy found a great campsite at the Ellensburg, WA KOA facing directly on to the Yakima River now about 12 feet from our windshield.  We will stay a few days as this is Labor Day weekend.
