Today was another somewhat long travel day.
We started out in Missoula, MT, which is on the western side of the state. The temperature was 46.
Heading west we had to go up and over the mountains. The road was curvy, and we did see some mountain peaks with snow.
Later we stopped at the Grand Coulee Dam / Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. The shortly after we stopped at the Chief Joseph Dam. This dam is the second largest produce of hydro-electric power.
Next we drove up and over the Cascades mountains, driving through the Northern Cascades National Park. Near the top of Washington Pass (elevation 5477') we drove past snow drifts about 10' in height, based upon cars parked next to the drifts.
We had light rain most of the day.
We stopped for the night in Burlington, WA, which is between Seattle and Vancouver, covering around 500 miles today.
