This neat photo of a Covered Wagon (or should I say Un-covered Wagon<\/em> since it no longer has the canvas top), was taken by our daughter Willow, in the parking lot of a truck stop along the Three Flags (395) Highway on our recent PcT Roadtrip<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was somewhere just north of Pasco, Washington.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Covered<\/a><\/p>\n

We had woken up at 5:00 AM that morning in the Deer Park RV Resort (just north of Spokane, Washington)… prepared breakfast and packed the trailer… then set out on a course to meet up with long-time member Carlee Nave at 10am in Pasco. <\/span><\/p>\n

We were incredibly grateful to arrive at the truck stop. You see, we had misjudged how far our tank of fuel would go (kilometers vs miles miscalculation error)… along a barren stretch of highway that had very few gas stations… let alone ones that carried diesel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Truck<\/p>\n

Let’s just say, the four of us had been crossing all our fingers and toes for quite a few miles already, hoping that a truck stop would appear very soon. So when this oasis in the desert<\/em> finally showed up, we all breathed a collective sigh of relief knowing we weren’t going to be stranded on the side of the road!<\/span><\/p>\n

The place was greasy and grimy as you might expect a truck stop to be (especially the bathrooms)<\/em>… but it didn’t matter. We were all just thankful to have arrived on our own steam!<\/span><\/p>\n

A relieved Doug jumped out to fill the tank and top up all the fluids.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Fisher happily checked the air pressure in all 8 tires – he actually had to let some out because the desert heat had caused some over inflation issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

I raced off to the horrendous bathroom – when you gotta go, you gotta go.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And Willow grabbed the camera and started snapping photographs of the surrounding area.<\/span><\/p>\n

With all the enthusiasm we showed at this truck stop, you’d think we had arrived at a fantastic destination. I’m guessing the truckers loading up on soggy nachos and fried chicken, had a bit of a laugh at our expense – lol.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways… we made it to see Carlee and her family pretty much right on schedule (video of that meetup will follow in a future post)<\/em>… and ended up with a story and some photos, perfect for today’s color recipe palette.<\/span><\/p>\n
