Taking you to Colfax and its beautiful countryside with some Wind Farm issue

[@Samdie440]

Ty for sharing your trip. The farms are beautiful. Prayers for Apollo.

[@richard--s]

Many thanks for showing us this part of the world. Yes, I whish it was under better circumstances, but you made it for us and for you into a road trip while you were waiting for the hospital to get ready for your doggy Apollo. I hope, it goes well for Apollo!

[@silki24]

thank you, he just had the first treatment and it went well

[@richard--s]

@@silki24 oh good, a first step.

[@carolinemarriott541]

I am travelling with you, Silki, and really loving every minute of it….you are one awesome woman! All the very best for darling little Apollo and his upcoming treatment. God bless from the UK

[@flaviamochel1820]

Silki, you're such a brave woman! I admire you ❤️ . Following your journey , my heart and thoughts are with you and Apollo, Rudi, and Eddie . Enjoy your coffees ☕️ and the support everyone is sending you.

I guess, somewhere there must be, where the song "Fields Of Gold" was written... It makes so much sense to place a love story in that land where the fields are almost endless from horizon to horizon... and it makes so much sense to make the fields of gold the main part of the song. Here we just saw the remainders of the fields after the harvest. I can only imagine how it looks before...

[@silki24]

wow yes you might be right, they are really fields of gold

[@richard--s]

@silki24 it's such a nice song. It goes from the first love up to their kids running around in these fields of gold... Wow...

[@cailieravn3718]

Hi Silki What a beautiful place! I understand why you love it. Breathtaking nature and kind people, almost an eoic experience. Making a video with speech and nice music is enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this amazing video!

[@silki24]

I am so glad you liked it , thank you !

[@williamkelley8001]

I went to Washington State University there in Pullman. Your video brings back many memories!

Not often you hear of something CHEAPER in Canada. Best of luck with your doggo.

Thank you for the update Silki.

[@MyCouchPullsOut-IDont]

Hello Silki how are you doing?

[@jakryk]

You’re more likely to find propane at hardware stores or farm supply stores rather than gas stations. For groceries, you’re going to get the best price at a Walmart. You are in a beautiful part of the country. I wish it was under better circumstances. Best wishes to Apollo.

😊😊Thanks for sharing your adventures with everyone, even if we can't be members. I would love to travel in an RV, just like you are ......🚐🚙🚐🚙

[@silki24]

You should!

[@sarahb.6475]

I enjoyed the trip you took to Colfax. The totem pole you saw was interesting and I am glad you got your coffee too! I dont drink coffee but I drink tea and GT's organic Synergy Kombucha. I had to go off both for a week as I am going to the allergist this afternoon for skin prick testing. Tea is a natural antihistamine. We have 1 of those big white windmills here in Milwaukee. Its in Bay View, which is one of the Milwaukee neighborhoods. Its near Lake Michigan. Luckily there is only the one. And I never knew those things can catch fire! 😮 oh and Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin. My horses are out in Mukwanago which is like a 45 to 50 minute drive from Milwaukee. Mukwanago means "place of the bear" and Milwaukee means "meeting place of many waters".. Wisconsin means "land of many waters". The state is known for cheese + beer... Kind of ironic but I am being tested for milk allergy. Get breathing issues each time I eat / drink any milk product. The music in the video reminds me of Ice Age Continental Drift. ❤ really enjoyed the music.. I hope it goes well with Apollo today! Good luck!!

[@sandymetz8527]

Yay coffee. I’ve been in that predicament before, having to drag yourself around to find a cup. Thx so much for the content, beautiful area. And stay safe, we are all praying for Apollo.

I use a weBoost on my rv to increase the signal to my phone Its a little pricey at $550 but it works. It will inctease your signal 2-4 bars. Its not hard to install if your a little handy. I camp in a lot of remote areas and it has always worked for me. Good luck and keep it tween the lines!

Happy travels Silki! Your videos are awesome! 10 years ago I took a road trip from Bellingham to Montana. Your videos bring back memories from my trip. Road trips take lots of planning in advance. I took my first dash camera. It sounds like you're having a great trip! Good thoughts and prayers for you and your family on your journey 🙏!

[@charlesguptill8423]

Silki, thanks for highlighting our small town. I have been subscribed to your channel for a while, but not an active follower. Was surprised to see a video this morning about Colfax on the tube this morning. Lived here all my life. its a nice place to live if you are looking for a quiet agricultural related community. Access to Washington State University provides benefits you might not have in other small towns. Glad you enjoyed your visit. The concrete river is flood control for the Palouse river, constructed in the 1960's. The river would flood the town often.

I've traveled those roads for 30+ years. Between Clarkston/Lewiston (born and raised) and Spokane. It's changing fast and its heartbreaking. We're losing farmers faster than the food they produce is being replaced.

Rosauers in Lewiston is expensive also. There is a WinCo in Moscow that is cheaper than either Rosauers or Safeway.

Smaller towns will have shops and stores closing early oftentimes.

[@sarimento1]

great vid, @silki24! Perhaps the Palouse region's history of receiving volcanic ash and lava is a reason you're enjoying the landscape so much! Best wishes for Apollo!

[@helenferris575]

Greetings, Silki. What was that Timex commercial? Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Apollo is blessed to have you as his mom. ... I am glad you are having the opportunities to see the beauty of the U.S. ... Has Apollo been able to start his treatment yet? Thanksgiving week here is one of the worst weeks to try to get a medical appt. Is it the same in Canada? ... I was watching a show about energy production in Germany. According to this show, there is massive use of open pit mines that has resulted in villages no longer existing and even 90% being destroyed of a forest that had existed since the Ice Age. The show reviewed massive protests against nuclear energy -- understandably. ... Continued good vibes headed your way. Hugs to your 3 cutie pies and beautiful horses. Keep well.

[@Joergthereader]

In Germany the did a huge mistake to get rid of Nuclear Energy. The consequences are brutal. Germany has one of the highest energy costs in the world and many key industries in energy intensive sectors are fleeing Germany or are not anymore profitable or have to fight to survive. Germany made the huge mistake to make itself depending on Russian Gas and get rid of Nuclear Energy. Your concern regarding open pit mining and cutting down whole forests in the past, thats the past or should have been but because of all the Energy problems Germany is again depending on coal in a way not imaginable a decade ago. Germany has still a lot of forest but now they cut it also because of wind and solar energy which is insane. It happened recently that they cut a whole forest in East Germany 🤦‍♂️ In Canada you are waiting forever for a doctor Appointment and it is worse with hospitals and surgeries. The waiting times are insane

Hi Silki! 😊 I think the price of propane depends on where you're at in the United States. 😊 My husband pays $20.00 for propane for our camper. Thanks for sharing! I hope the best for you and your Apollo.

[@ronaldbowman8948]

Do you ever get recognized when you are on trips like this? 👁

[@1GoodWoman]

Hi Silki. Please know we care. Do take care of yourself please. I was concerned about you when I saw how empty everything was. A woman traveling alone does need to be able to keep herself physically safe. Years ago I drove 3 small kids back from Florida to the Great Lakes region, alone. It was not planned that way. Going down yes but coming back nope. However, just like you we made it. Now when I travel I build in quite a bit of attention to where I am, when. You are truly having an adventure. Nice that the community is friendly. You do know to check for some sort of formal ID when someone approaches you to “help” right? It is trust and verify, always. Basically think Miss Marple( Agatha Christie’s Nemesis has great commentary on this and can be a fun listen while driving…free here on YT) who references everything to the people she knew for years in her small village….and now with online our villages are a bit larger but the tell is the firewood price. There probably is an invite only community site somewhere). You honestly don’t know who knows who in such a thinly populated area. I can pretty well guarantee most of the folks around by now know who you are and what you are doing. They can largely be well meaning, can easily deny knowing anything ( and do not get fearful…..it is just a small community thing.) and they are curious. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. 😊😊

[@deniseatkins9407]

Looks very cold there hope the treatment has started and is going well. Aldi is well known for their turbo checkouts even here in the uk

[@Zyworski]

I know exactly where Colfax is, and the area is beautiful in the Spring. Colfax sits down in a gorge at the confluence of two small rivers. Colfax is only about 12 miles away from Moscow, Idaho. Colfax is pretty but dead, if you want any action you will have to drive over to Idaho, that's where the college is and one good bar with live music. I'm sorry but all the volcanic activity in Eastern Washington ended 13 million years ago. There has been a bit of rumbling at Mt Adams and Mt Baker. Baker is a monster, God forbid it should ever go off, it is our Hekla.

Good morning Silki & Butterfly!! Hope all goes well for Apollo, you must be so tired & worried, with his breathing getting affected 😢 The drive was ideallic, I guess however being in the sticks has it's cost. Thank you for the Tour, the houses look beautiful, if there were more trees, it would be beautiful in the fall. Even without the Political times, seems some drawbacks to the wonderful scenes. I do wonder what weather events, may affect the area. Tornadoes? Poor Apollo, 🙏🙏🙏💙 Hope his first treatment goes well. Glad the horses okay, your warning app worked well. I do wish I could contribute, through Paypal. Hope you get some sleep, but I guess you won't until he's better & back home. You are missing events in Iceland, but we have some cover. All of your posts, have been so interesting. Btw do you know, where the Icelandic people cone from? If their Island drives them away, becomes persistently active, was wondering if they would go to Scotland perhaps. Although life here, is far from easy. Btw your depiction, of being a customer in Germany, was shocking! Thinking of you bless you & the doggies 🤗🥰💯🫶🙏🙏🙏⭐️
