Hello! I wanted to provide a quick update on our travels – we decided to skip Vancouver, BC. After a careful look at the map and talking to fellow travelers, it seemed too difficult with the RV. It’s a big city, and we would have to stay about 45 minutes – 1 hour outside the city to avoid driving the RV into heavy traffic and potentially difficult roads with such a big rig. We could have taken a day trip with just the truck into the city, but in the end we decided to skip it.
So we crossed the boarder late yesterday afternoon into Washington. We are parked at a lovely RV park in Ferndale, WA, which is near Bellingham. We’re off today to a hike at Mt. Baker, we have a ferry trip to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island planned for Sunday, and we’re getting the oil changed and tires rotated on the truck Saturday in Bellingham. So excited to get a good hike in today – we all need it, especially Gerry!! He had a doggy daycare day a few days ago while we were in the Prince George area, which tired him out a bit, but these days he is always full of energy!
I still have at least 1 or 2 posts to do from our last stops in Alaska (lots of bears and a huge glacier!), so stay tuned. Hoping to get that done in the next few days. In the meantime, it feels good to be in the lower 48 again, the sun is shining, Mt. Baker looks beautiful and we can’t wait to hike it today!
