October 3, 2013

Left Spokane shortly after 8 this morning and were looking forward to getting back up into the mountains.

We thought about stopping here this morning but before we left the room, Tom noticed that one of the holes on the end of his belt "just disappeared".



Along the way when traveling you sometimes see unusual traffic signs.  This one could be back in Maine.  Route 2  East...Newport.


For a while, there wasn't much to look at but occasionally you could tell where the farm houses were.  Somewhere in the middle of a few trees.


Believe it or not, the farmers were still working the fields in hopes of getting a little more growing in.






 Some of the mountaintops in the Snoqualmie mountain range.


Where's George....we found him/it.


The beautiful Columbia River.


Tom thought that it would be best to take a picture of this National Park feature before Johnny Reb decides to turn out the lights.

 Here we are without any skis.


On the way to Everett, a little north of Seattle we had extra time and decided to take the Boeing Tour.  Although electronic devices were not allowed in the assembly plant, we could take pictures from across the runway.

These are some of the completed planes that are either waiting for test runs or for delivery to the new owners.


 Once assembly is done, they go to the paint buildings for the finish painting.


These are two of the 4 Dreamlifter models that are used for transporting supplies from Japan, Italy, Kansas and North Carolina.



The Worlds largest assembly plant by volume.  4.3 million cubic feet.
