Gotta Go!

Well, our time in Washington state is drawing to a close.  We have a possible contract in Maryland, but are still waiting for confirmation.  Rather than hot-footing it back to Texas we think we will head just a tad north to Glacier International Peace Park.  It's one of our favorite National Parks, and we haven't been there in awhile.  We'll camp there a few days and see if we are in fact headed for Maryland or back to Texas.

John gets off at 4:30.  We're not sure we can make it all the way to a campsite in Glacier before dark, so we might have to find a hotel.

We head up US 12 toward Lewiston, Idaho.  That's how we came into Walla Walla, and it is a beautiful drive.  It's getting dark.  The road is full of curves and highs and lows.  Our headlights are excellent on this vehicle.  We both are alert for night critters and whatever else might be lurking in the road or on the side.  

Oh!  My goodness!  Is that... ?  It IS!!!  Oh!  My!  Goodness!!  It's a mountain lion!  We've never seen a mountain lion - much less in the wild!  It's just standing there on the side of the road.  His tale seems twice as long as he is!  He's taller than our son's Great Dane.  Oooo!  He's magnificent!  Golly!

There was zero time to get an iPhone or camera for a picture, though the image is forever in our minds.  He was there, and then he was gone.  Golly gracious goodness!  How absolutely cool is that!
