Leavenworth, Washington - Day 27-28



Exiting West Glacier we hit yet another snow blizzard - this time thankfully we were already packed up and in the car but, for a while it was not a pretty drive! Bigass snow flakes in strong winds with icy roads made for a nervous few minutes but the most important thing was that we were dry, smelly, but dry! 536 miles further west we drove into a really bizzare little town called Leavenworth. here we are in the north west corner of the USA and all the buildings look like they belong on the set of "Sound of Music". Swiss/Bavarian mottifs and architecture all over the place! No idea what the fascintion with "little Germany is but it seems like quite a popular spot for the Seattle crowd, so much so that the KOA camp ground was completely booked up!.......JOY!...another night with no showers! The state camp park is again up high in the mountains with more peaceful scenery - just forgot to pack a portable heater! As and alternative, I have decide to grow a "Wallace" beard. This way, I will at least keep my face warm but, the down side is that the grey is showing a little more each day. A bottle of RED around the campire does the trick too.
