Cold during the night
but clear sky & sun is warming things
We
were late up & slow because we decided that we’d stick around for the lodge
lunch, (11 to 2). I had a Taco salad and
I ordered the large for 8.50 instead of the regular for 7.50. It was a larger taco shell which was full to
the top so there was a lot of ground beef, it was good! Sheila had a sandwich
of chicken & prime rib with a side of tater tots. Also very good! She brought ½ the sandwich and tater tops
home for supper tonight. We pulled out
of Kelso Elks @ 1:30 @ 40711 miles. At 2
pm the traffic came to a stop, then a slow crawl. We got to the accident site, a small car was sideways
to traffic flow with the front up on the cement median barrier and it looked
like it had been rolled and maybe run over by one of the stopped trucks. I couldn’t see an undamaged spot
anywhere. I wouldn’t think anyone got
out alive. I could see some sheets
spread around the front seat area, usually the indication there had been a body
covered there. We cleared traffic and were rolling again by 2:20. We stopped for gas @ 40771 from 3:05 to 3:20
at the Tumwater Pilot at exit 99. We encountered more traffic jams and backups
getting to the Casino but arrived @ 4:50 @ 40822. We went into the casino to look around. No deals on food as it is a Friday night so
everything is more. Their fancy buffet, The Spice Garden was $19.00 Mon to
Thurs but Fri, Sat, Sun it’s $25.00, presumably because they bring in more
Seafood on those days. Sheila saw a line
up at a show lounge and asked what it was for.
It is for a free Rolling Stones Tribute band. People were lined up an
hour & a half ahead of time. We came
back to the RV for a supper of left over Sheila’s Elks lunch and a free Sub we
got for using our Flying J/Pilot charge card, just a 6 inch but we could have
anyone we wanted. After supper Sheila
went back to the Casino to try the free $5.00 credit we each got for signing up
for a players card.
