GEG Aug 2010

    Day I: Here we are once again at Chez Frey. The BBQ is a heatin up for some inland empire salmon. Had a very good ride over today other than the heaviest traffic on I90 that I have ever seen. All the way to Moses Lake area then it thinned out to more normal. I guess every one was heading to the Pot Holes ect. Had hundreds of cycle headed west. “who said motorcycle people were crazy?” Actually we did not pass or were passed by one motorcycle. Althought we passed quite a few peddle powered cycles.
It’s a beautifull day here around 80degrees. Who would have thunk we would head to eastern Washington for cooler weather. Tomorrow morning we wll head up to Diamond lake.

Day II: Picked up my morning Starbucks and headed down to Riverside park on the Spokane riverIMG_5015 . Really made me wonder just why anybody would stay in bed and not get an early start out to enjoy the BEST time of day here in the  Spokane aummer. The only sounds in the park were those of birds starting their day and the sound of the river from compleatly silent to the sound of rushing water over some rappids. The air was cool and the sun filtering thru the trees was warm. It just does not get any better than that. “You, Nature., and a hot cup of Starbucks!!” 
Headed out to Diamond Lake around 11am. A beautiful day hanging at Mini Chez Frey. Did a little swin, do a little nap and BBQ tonight.

Day III: Off this morning for Starbucks and a drive to Mt Spokane. Only about  1/2hr drive and this time of year you can drive all the way to the top.Mt Spokane 8-16-2010 7-38-56 AM The air was warm and no wind.” Perfect!” We spent about an hour exploring around the area. A Great morning. The Picture on the left is from the top looking North East. You could spot all the srounding lakes including Coeur d'Alene. Off in the distance in this picture. This evening Anita, Mary and I once again checked out Riverside park for a short hike.

Day IV: How the time fly’s! This morning the little black Rav4 will be heading west. And life will be back to normal here at Chez Frey.
