Visiting Cathy

We're at the Franklin County RV Park in Pasco, Washington.  It's not a greenspace near a river, like Hood Park where we stayed last year.  But each site has a bit of lawn and the park is just ten miles from the home of Jim's sister, Cathy, who lives in nearby Kennewick. And Cathy is the reason we're in Kennewick.

The first part of our drive from Rainbow Beach to Pasco/Kennewick/Richland, Washington (also called the Tri Cities) was a ride on the Gifford Ferry.  The free ferry takes passengers from Inchelium, Washington, on the west side of Lake Roosevelt to to US- 25 on the east side of the lake.  If you click on the photo you can see the ferry making its way to Inchelium.

Cathy and Jim.  The sibs share a January 20th birthday.
