We left the campground before noon today and headed east to the Walmart where we will spend the night. It is located a couple of miles from the school, the location of the hamfest.

We are parked way out from the store in a remote part of the lot where we are out of the normal traffic pattern so it should be relatively quiet tonight.

Tomorrow night we will be at the school in the parking lot after setting up ready to do business on Saturday morning.

Shortly after we arrived another ham knocked on the door and he was also here waiting to set up tomorrow evening. He mentioned another hamfest the end of October south of here in Oregon. I have sent them an e-mail and maybe we will work that hamfest as well before we head south toward warmer weather.

Yesterday as we came into town we came down a long hill. The sign said 5% for the next 2 miles. Today as I drove down to town I recorded a drop in altitude of 600 feet in that 2 miles.

Our photo is of one of the old bridges that used to carry the traffic across some of the low areas as you come down into the town. Your really go downtown to the heart of Spokane and then on east into Spokane valley.
