August 7 fifth day on the road

It was a restless night in the Spokane Valley KOA.  A freight train came roaring past the campground every couple of hours.  We got up early!!!  So did everyone else.

This was a short driving day since we only had to do 310 km to Leavenworth, Washington.  We checked in at the KOA there and walked into town, about 1.5 miles.  Leavenworth was an old logging town that was broke when the logging industry when flat.  The town remade itself as a Bavarian Village and markets that summer and winter.  We ate Jaegerschnitzel, spaetzle and red cabbage at King Ludwig's and walked the main street.

The drive from the Spokane Valley to Leavenworth was quite nice.  We got off the Interstate and drove Highway 2 through a high plain.  The wheat was just being harvested and looks good.  I knew Washington was famous for apples but did not know that so much wheat was grown here.

Temps are still hot - 30C and it looks like another clear night.  Tomorrow we drive to the wet part of the state - Seattle.
