One of the things I realized while boondocking<\/a> in Montana was that I’ve done a lot of alone-time campering over the past few years and right now I have a unique opportunity to visit some old friends. As well, this is my “finding home tour” and that isn’t just about location – community is a giant slice of that pie chart. That’s when I decided to not continue north to Glacier National Park<\/a> and instead head West to friends. <\/p>\n

On that idea, I headed to Spokane to stay with friends. We headed to my friend’s parents house for dinner, and they set us to work.<\/p>\n

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

It was great helping family work on their house. They were filling in a walkway with pretty stones. As a reward we got to eat delicious just plucked tomatoes from their garden.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We had a night out the next night, and this was our view from the restaurant. There’s a river and waterfalls that run through the heart of Spokane. It’s a really lovely city!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My friends took me to feed a trash eating goat,<\/a> who has been eating trash since the World’s Fair was in Spokane in 1974<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and we walked around downtown during sunset. A lot of the structures still stand from the 1974 World’s Fair.<\/a> I think this was a giant tent, with exhibitors inside. Since then, it lost its canvas, and is now this interesting sculpture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On my last day, we visited the lush gardens, including a beautiful Japanese Garden<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

and Argos, and my truck, got a bath at the same place!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Contrary to how happy Argos looks in that pic, he was definitely not a happy doggie!<\/p>\n

It was great staying with my Spokane friends and getting a tour of the city!
\nNext time I visit, I’ll have to take my kayak out on the river!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
