When you go on a long travel vacation, you just can’t resist rating things sometimes. You know–what did you like best? Well, here’s a for-fun chart of some the best and worst moments. Part of our blessings were that none of the worst moments were very bad as you can see.
The best |
The worst |
|
| meal | Gail and Sue Stater’s salmon dinner Truly extraordinary | Leftover bagels for breakfast with no banana, but we ate. |
| restaurant meal | Happy Garden Chinese in Wallowa, OR – steak and vegetables – very tasty, excellent service | Applebee’s Asian Ribs, Kalispell, Montana. – thin cut with little meat, cooked dry and charred. |
| hotel | Shilo Inn, Moses Lake, WALarge clean room, great breakfast, good internet, convenient, and medium priced | Edgewater Inn, OR, near Crater Lake, in spite of being expensive.Not well cleaned from the last party, very skimpy breakfast. |
| roads | 70 miles per hr freeways in WA | Hell’s Canyon switchbacks without guardrails |
| views | A very tough choice – I nominate Logan Pass, Montana by a hair over Hurricane Ridge, WA | Mile after mile of dry sagebrush in eastern WA |
| surprise | The height of the Crater Lake peak and the size and beauty of the lake | The great scarcity of rooms available close to Glacier National Park on both sides. |
| Enjoyable driving | Farming valleys of eastern OR, Idaho and Washington | Seattle traffic as we came back into the city at rush hour. |
