Fri Sep 23, almost home, away Grand Coulee & into Angel of the Winds Casino.

Fri Sep 23 Day 25 Sunny, hot in Grand Coulee, nice in western WA
Dennis came up & fixed the Plug so we have turn signals & brake lights showing on the tow car. I found what the loose wires were for; they control the automatic electric steps. Now sometimes they close & sometimes they don’t, I will get it fixed ASAP when I can find a RV repair shop. Then I fixed the loose propane line for the BBQ, that was easy to fix but while under the RV I noticed that the inside of one of the duals looked bald, sure enough the inside edge was worn. I asked Dennis & he told me where a Les Schwab tire dealer was. I drove over; they had the tire size in stock and could do it immediately. Back to the RV, pack it up & over to the tire shop. Job would take an hour. It was now noon so Sheila & I went for lunch at a cafe in Coulee Dam which had a plaque on the wall saying, “Best cafĂ© by a Dam site”. We picked up the RV and left Grand Coulee at 1:30 @ 146168 & headed non stop to the Angel of the Winds Casino on I 5 at exit 210. Sheila got to drive as we went through Leavenworth at 4:05. The Fall Leaf Festival was this weekend but with the crowded parking we couldn’t stop, we also were about 2 to 3 hours behind schedule. At 4:20 change drivers again and pulled into Angel of the Winds at 6:30 @ 146532. The RV Park was full so we are parked in the parking lot. We went over to the Casino to check in for a night, no problem; they just like to know who is out there. We went to Katie’s Kitchen for supper and had several of their 99 cent specials. I was full for $4.46. Sheila stayed to play & I came back to do journal & expenses.

We drove 364 km,226 miles – Sheila drove 1¼ hours
