This moring we left the "Roadway Inn" at Omak and started our final leg of the journey home. What's really sort of funny is that, unbeknownst to either Beth or I, the Roadway Inn used to be the Omak Travel Lodge. This in itself isn't note worthy, but the fact that we stayed in the same place twenty eight years ago on the first night of our one week honeymoon trip to Banff & Jasper was a riot. We had no idea we were booking the same rat hole of a place (ok so Beth thinks it wasn't such a rat hole anymore), until we arrived and things seemed vagely familiar. Beth asked the lady at the desk who confirmed that, yes it once was a travel lodge, many years ago. I guess it was a fitting end bringing some sort of closure to our journey to see the polar bears of Churchill Manitoba, on Hudson's Bay. We did it and had great fun doing it. Oh yes we also saw a grizzly cub, black bear, foxes, lots of dear, caribou, and lots of other critters. Today we saw a hawk flying over us while riding next to the Columbia. The hawk had a huge fish in its claws.....way too cool! BTW home is great, thanks to Susie for holding down the fort while the old ones were off playing.
