From Coeur d’Alene we pushed our way across southeastern Washington today. We expected to have an opportunity to stop at a visitors center as we crossed into the state but saw no such possibility. We did stop in Sprague for fuel and a geocaching break. That search took is to an abandoned historic building known as The Letter Box right next to the post office. At the end of our drive we pulled into the COE campground at Hood Park in Burbank. We registered for one night on Site 6 and shortly thereafter went back to the office to extend our stay for one more night. We’re on the shore of the Snake River in between the confluence of the Snake and Columbia Rivers and the Ice Harbor Dam. Just after we arrived Karen joined in a conference call with her Dad and her siblings to hear tales of Dad and Alice’s adventures in Ireland this past week!
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
