August 8 6th day on the road

We started out with breakfast at McDonald's.  This one was special since it is in Leavenworth and therefore had to look German.  Judge for yourself.

We drove Highway 97 south back to Interstate 90 for a two hour drive to Kent, Wa.  The KOA for Seattle is here, just south of the city.

On Highway 97 we crossed through the Blewitt Pass with an elevation of 4102 feet.  On Interstate 90 we crossed the Snoqualmie Pass at an elevation of 3022 feet.  Temperature here was only 13C and we had fog in the pass.

This was a very short driving day and gave us a chance to do some laundry and to pick up the wine for the cruise - and my brother-in-law's natural peanut butter, now immortalized in this blog!! 

The weather on this side of the mountains is decidedly cooler and we have on long pants and sweatshirts.  It would be great sleeping weather if we weren't camped almost on the street.  This is a small KOA and right on a main road, although thankfully not a highway.  We have been promised that traffic slows down at night.  I will keep you posted.

Plan for tomorrow - take the bus into Seattle proper and visit the sights.
