Aug 2-3 2010, Spokane, Washington

John found a place in Spokane, WA that could work on the bus. So we left our beautiful spot by the lake and headed to Spokane and stayed in a horrible RV park in the city by the highway. We had to hand over the bus and stay in hotels eat in restaurants  for a week while they fixed the bus. The body is fiberglass and it takes a long time to repair it. Insurance gave us a small amount of money  for the week.

bye bye beautiful lake,  Spokane falls. the river runs right thru town, has an island with a park on it.

Island park and falls,with a carousel. I caught the ring!

Spokane  built power plants  in the 1880’s, it was one of the first cities to have electricity. We rode on the gondola over the falls. NEVER ride with John in a gondola that according to John goes no where, he complains the whole time.
