6AMThe Team is up very early this morning. Do you know why?
Because yesterday, a reader suggested that we gotta go
see "Steptoe Butte." The thing about "Steptoe Butte" is
that it is located in the State of Washington. The Team
is crazy for crossing a state border.
This may be a case of "Border Sucker Madness", an affliction
that has been known to strike RVs before. Man-o-Man!
So this morning we are crossing back into the State of
Washington. Wow!
Here is a link to the mysterious
Steptoe Butte.
7:30AMWe pulled into the Town of Pullman, Washington. Do you know
what lives in Pullman? Washington State University!! Wow!
If the University of Idaho is big, the campus of the Washington
State University is a City unto itself!
We took two pics of Washington State University. The one below
is of Bryan Hall. We liked Bryan Hall because it had a Clock Tower.
We like Clock Towers.
We took a pic of the huge Cougar Stadium. We wonder if any readers ever
saw a football game in this stadium?
12 NoonWe have arrived at the top of Steptoe Butte. It is breathtaking! Wow!
We are 3,619 feet high.
The view is fantastic from way up here. We are able to see about
70 miles to Mount Spokane in the North.
12:45PMGeorge and Mr. Mavica went out to take some pics. Mr. Mavica said,
"These views are too big, George. I am just a little camera!"
Try as Mr. Mavica could, he was not able to make a pic that would
capture what George could see with his eyes.
Here is a pic looking towards the Town of Coeur D'Alene, which is
51 miles away, as the crow flies.
And here is a Spokane View!
4PMThe Team was going to make Nite Camp up here on Steptoe Butte.
However, as evening came on, the weather started closing in. The wind
became very strong.
8:30PMWe have come down from Steptoe Butte, and are Nite Camped at the
entrance to the park. It got too windy way up there.
Here is a link about the U.S. Army battle on Steptoe Butte!
