Day 61, Monday, August 15

I left camp this morning by 8am and toured around Mt Rainier with the trailer for about an hour or so before heading East towards Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River. I checked on the prices of several campsites along Banks Lake but decided that I didn’t want to spend $30 for the relative lack of pleasure of being camped right next to a heavily used sportfishing boat ramp. I knew I’d seen a couple of parks a little ways back on Hwy 155 and one of the parks even had showers listed on its sign. Decision seemed perfectly clear to me…camp in a field along side the road (FREE is definitely the right price) and then head over for a shower in the morning. Total night’s lodging price? $1.00. Prefect.
