What could possibly get Harris up before 7AM???? The soccer game! He left his blind up, and the sun actually woke us up about 5 AM. So we were up, dressed and eating breakfast by the time the game came on. The game was exciting to watch, and frustrating as well. Because it ended in a tie, we wanted to stay and watch the next match between England and Algeria. We took a long walk in between the two games and found a couple more geocaches.

Then, because it turned into a gorgeous day, we drove down to Mardon by Potholes State Park and rented a paddle boat. That was a fun bit of exercise. The only fly in the ointment, so to speak, was the absolute horde of insects that followed us both on and off the water. We had left the windows open a crack, and poor Howie was invaded by at least a thousand tiny flying bugs. (If that’s an exaggeration, it’s only a slight one).

Harris drove back to Soap Lake, and Judy spent the time smacking bugs on the windows. Harris was happy grilling hamburgers on his new grill with a rum and coke in hand. Judy was supervising with a similar beverage in hand.
The weather has been beautiful today, high of 78, sun, and a slight breeze. The sunseekers are happy.

We took a longer walk this morning, up a side road and through the campground. Then we drove into Ephrata for a look see. Guess what? There’s a terrific quilt store there, so of course we had to stop. We headed back to our first campground in Moses Lake and did a little geocaching on the way.
The Holy Grail...err Harris's great grill
. You may ask about this back and forth business. After all, Moses Lake and Soap Lake are only about 20 miles apart. Well, the RV park at Moses Lake didn’t have wi-fi. The park at Soap Lake is much prettier but doesn’t have cable. And since we wanted to watch the US soccer team play in the World Cup , we went back to Moses Lake for one more night.
The dessert Judy discovered in a store...It was very good!
Harris was happy to learn he could also watch the final game of the NBA playoffs. (Even though we were rooting for Boston, sigh.) This is our laziest trip yet. A little walking, a little geocaching, a little driving…but at least the weather is clearing!
