Two days to go

We continued to follow highway two through Montana, for a short period through Idaho then into Washington State. In North Dakota it was very obvious that there was a lot of oil drilling activity and evidence of what looked like a gas pipeline. There were many well heads that were flaring the gas. Under this area lies the Bakken oil fields. Highway two was a pleasure to drive, mostly smooth, occasional road works, very little traffic. Driving was made more pleasurable by being able to spell each other off about every hour. Through Montana there were acres of farmland growing wheat and also a lot of grass for hay. Though Idaho it was mountainous, curving and picturesque. It would be enjoyable motorcycling country. We joined Interstate 90 at Coeur d’Alene and then managed to find a campsite Klink’s Williams Lake RV. This involved a detour but it paralleled the interstate. The following morning we were in arid eastern Washington State where there was extensive grass growing and hay that you could see in huge piles covered with tarpaulins. It probably gets fed to cattle in the winter at feedlots. We had driven long days 592, 570 and then 524 KM in order to spend the last night chosen by Hugh to be La Conner.
