This is Part 3 of 4, with photos of Spokane in Washington, and the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon.
We arrived at North Spokane RV Resort on Sep 21st, where we had reservations for 4 nights.
It's good that we had reserved an extra night, because the next day it rained, so we used the laundry facilities, but otherwise stayed in our coach, the kind of day the kitties always like!
The next day we started exploring the Sculpture Walk in Riverfront Park. This sculpture is imaginatively named 'Red Wagon.' ;-)
This is the 'Rotary Fountain' in Riverfront Park. The fountain doesn't actually rotate . . . it was named that because its construction was sponsored by the Rotary Club.
When I saw that the 1909 Looff Carousel had both a tiger and a giraffe, I had to go for a ride. I was having a hard time choosing between the the two, but my decision was made for me. While I debated with myself, a little girl ran up to the tiger and climbed on. And so the giraffe it was!
We originally added Spokane to our route after seeing a magazine photo of the SkyRide in Riverfront Park.
And then there's a great view of Spokane Falls when heading back up.
Back on solid ground, we continued exploring Riverfront Park.
Before Expo '74, Riverfront Park was a busy rail yard, and this Clock Tower was part of the Great Northern Depot, built in 1902.
The 'Place of Truths Plaza' offered a good view of the SkyRide we had been on earlier . . .
. . . as well as several of the Native Art sculptures that are scattered throughout Riverfront Park.
Later we walked south into 'Downtown' for some wine-tasting.
Next we wandered over to the historic Davenport Hotel, built in 1914, because we had seen pictures of their beautiful lobby.
We also wanted to visit their Peacock Lounge, because . . .
. . . we wanted to see the 6,000-piece stained-glass ceiling.
