I'm kind of working backwards on adding and updating pages - so this page is now correct and up to date.

I got kind of turned around leaving Kennewick this morning which ended up being a good thing. We would normally take I-82 all the way to I-90 right before Ellensburg. Instead we picked up Route 240 which was a 2 lane road with virtually no traffic which completely bypassed Yakima and everything else and picked up I-90 right at the Vantage Bridge. From there it was the normal route home which we have done dozens of times before - stop at Ellensburg for a fill up, stop at the Indian John Hill Rest Area for lunch and then straight home - no stopping. We of course had traffic on I-405 but still got home around 2:30. Now all I have to do it start updating the rest of the pages.

I also hope to get the complete trip map and final wrap done in the next few days.
