On September 10th our daughter Glenda kindly drove Walter and me to visit my sister Marion and her husband Galen in Orofino, Idaho. It was a lovely trip and we had a great time visiting there.

| On the way there and back we went by Grand Coulee Dam. It has been years and years since we saw it and went on a tour of it before. |
One afternoon they took us for a drive in the countryside around their place. It is much more hilly than I had expected. The pictures I am including show you the hills and the Elk River. A bridge they took us too was surprising to see so far out of town. This bridge is supposed to be modelled after the Golden Gate Bridge, but does not have the same colour.
