Republic, WA

We left Libby about 8:00 and it took forever to get to our next camp at Curlew State Park outside Republic, WA.  We stopped at Kootenai Falls, one of the world's prettiest and I took some pictures with Hardy's camera.  There was lots of road construction along the way on US 20 which is a windy, hilly mountain road.  We stopped at an old log flume and got a geocache.  Hardy called Nita Peck to find a place to eat.  The Pine Tree junction Cafe east of town was well disguised as a C Store but an OK cafe.  We camped at Cerlew Lake SP, pretty but Washington does not fund their parks from tax money .  They have a yearly pass for $30 that is required for campers.  We did not have to pay that fee, just the camping fee.  Republic is a nice little town and a pretty area but there really isn't much there to keep their young people.
