30 Jan 07 Nelson, BC to LaGrande, Oregon

Leaving Nelson was difficult, as it always is. We had a wonderful visit and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We were up early and dropped Somer at the Garveys’, giving us a chance to say goodbye to them too. Nicole headed out cross-country skiing. The roads were still difficult from all the snow. At the Border we spent nearly 30 minutes with a very pleasant young woman who was thorough but most friendly. Fortunately this time we had no items confiscated. By the time we got to Spokane the roads were clear. They stayed good until we had passed Pendleton, Oregon. 

The pass between there and La Grande, OR was really socked in with fog and we crawled through it in company with a lot of transports. We were happy to come out of it and find a motel in downtown LaGrande. Dinner at the sports bar next door and an early night.
