In the morning we woke up to the usual Walmart scene – a bunch of RVs and a truck with idling diesel engine.

Our drive today took us through some amazing scenery from rocky wooded areas with beautiful lakes to vast plains to spectacular mountainous areas.

On the way we stopped at the Geraldton Information Center to learn about the history of the area, starting with the native people to the gold miners to the forest fire fighters of today.

We stopped at the Trowbridge Campground for the evening and took Pepsi for a walk to investigate the campground and were surprised to find a number of vintage cars and trailers at some of the campsites. We spoke to a couple of the owners of the cars and discovered that they were all part of a coast-to-coast old timers rally and were driving from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John’s, Newfoundland over a period of 70 days. Cars included an old ambulance and fire truck. Definitely a sight to behold.
