Spokane and the Grand Coulee Dam

[pdedse]

My son's job takes him to Spokane and I have this week off so I thought I'd go visit him while he's there. Left by 9am Monday and I wanted to get into Spokane around the time he got off work at 5. It always takes me longer to get the bike ready than what I think it's going to take, but after dorking around for too long, it was time to get on the road:


I took hiway 84 east along the Columbia River, then crossed at Hermiston, taking 82 north to Kennewick, WA. From there, 395 north to 90, then a bit more east to Spokane. Cell phone tower repairmen an hour from Spokane.

I look angry, but it was a warm day and I think the heat was getting to me.

Made it by 5, my son just got to the hotel as I did, so that was good timing. Downtown hotel had covered parking, but $17 a night even for motorcycles!

We found an interesting Italian restaurant within walking distance and the food was amazing and my son ordered a ton of food. Said it was on him, and the hotel to boot! Just what I like: a cheap mc trip! He's been at his job less than a year and it's good to see him make his way into the world of work.
