Day One

Well, we have finished day one. Yay for us!! Only one near death experience. That's gotta be pretty good.

We ended up on the road at about 7am. Only an hour off. Our first great find was the nation's leading potato producing county in the nation. This was in Grant County, WA. We were able to overcome the temptation to stop and forged on. We were quite amused driving through the town of George, WA. Haha.
We drove along until we came to Tokio. (I think Erik made a wrong turn somewhere.) From Tokio we continued on through Idaho. I thought that Coeur d'Alene was gorgeous! What was not as gorgeous was the World's Largest Dodge Dealership in Kellog, ID.
We then came to exit 0 on the border of Montana. We had to get out and get a picture of the elephant here of course! Once we continued on we came to the Clark Fork River. We passed over that dang river 13 times today!!! Oye. I suppose it was pretty though.
Our "near death experience" came when we were close to out final destination. Erik had just changed lanes with the truck and car in tow when the pick-up in front of him lost two bales of hay! Had Erik been right behind him it could have been rather messy. Luckily we all came out just fine.
Other random things we noticed today...
We passed 3 "P.O.D.S.", at least 3 Penske moving trucks, and 9 U-Hauls.
In the 11.5 hours we took to get to Missoula we passed 6 vehicles. (With the car in tow we can only go 55. Yes, it sucks)
And finally, the walkie-talkies are much much fun!
