Waking in the night, I slid out of bed and stepped into the chair,throwing me off balance and bouncing off the wall that should not have been there. I stood still and oriented myself to this nights Motel room. One of the hazards of a different Motel every night, is that you often wake not knowing or remembering where you are.

Last night we had been in Ellensburg WA., staying at the Inn at Goose Creek. We had seen the Inn on previous visits but traveling with the dog sometimes limits our options. Tonight we were dogless and the owner Gary asked if we wanted to see a few of the 10 theme rooms of the Inn.Since it was our first night back together after 5 weeks apart,  we chose the Rodeo Room  🙂

The next day we picked up the  new truck and headed east dropping the rental car at the FBO Hertz location in Moses Lake. Paula had the GPS program installed and running in the new truck in no time and we rocked along listening to the Sirius radio and learning all the truck features as we enjoyed the Fall colors.

It will be a 2500 mile trip that will retrace our Spring road trip east up till Billings Montana. At Billings we will stay in the north country and cruise south of Superior crossing at the twin cities of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan and Ontario. Should be a nice road trip and from Billings on,its all new to Paula. I’m hoping to swing buy the little log cabin that I started out my life , near Dwight Ontario and get a photo of me in front of it 50 some years later. I’ll check in with my Mom to see if the cabin is still standing and get some directions to the old place. I have not seen the old cabin since I was about 14 so directions may be needed.

I might have to ask the locals around Dwight if they know the cabin. Some one will surely know.
