Year 4, Day 5

Day 5 completed. Check that off the list. Becca and I watched a video of the world record waterfall drop a few months ago. This was done at Palouse Falls in Washington. So...we had to go see it. Its 186 feet and scary! I could barely stand near the look out spot, much less go over the falls in a kayak. Silly guy! This place was so far out in the middle of nowhere that mom and Chris thought I was completely insane! We finally found it down a 15 mile dirt road. Good visit after busy Seattle. Then we headed toward the second crazy / weird stop for the trip. We went to Colfax, WA to see the "worlds largest totem pole / worlds largest football memorial. Yep, pretty cool. A tribute to a game played in 1938 in the snow and the rematch 50 years later. No one in town seemed to care about it, but we checked it out anyway. Then for the best stop of the whole time. Sandpoint, ID where Becca was born. The room / hospital was exactly the same and everyone was so glad we were there and welcomed us. So fun! The cabin was next. Love this place. So important to me and so full of memories. We picked up our new project from my dad...a 1965 CJ5 Jeep. Cant wait to get that going again and take it Jeeping. Our stay for the night was at the lovely 1/2 star hotel in Noxon. Shag carpets, wood paneling, 70's lamp shades and a box fan to stay cool with. Swell. We put the chair under the door in case we were in the "vacancy" hotel. A little sleep and on our way thankfully! - Traveling Mama
