Vancouver Island - Day 15

Another long travel day, as Crescent City was a 24 hour drive from Regina, and we basically split it up into four days of driving, though our last day is going to be way more than six hours.

After breakfast in the hotel, we left Spokane and drove an exceedingly busy interstate for ten minutes or so until we passed Coeur d'Alene, where the traffic calmed down and the highway became more drivable.  We drove down I-90 until Missoula, where we stopped to go on a carousel that Sandra wanted to see.  It was a nice diversion, even though it was extremely hot - Missoula was almost 38C, and everyone was in the river.

Then we left the mountains behind.  A bit of a windy road through Montana and out onto the almost plains.  Montana is wild.  80MPH speed limits on the divided highways, 70MPH on regular highways.  We made it to Great Falls, where we stopped for the night.  Sandra found a extremely good local burger joint that we went to supper at.  Locally sourced meat, which was fantastic, as was all the iced tea I could drink.

Tomorrow night we should be home.
