Today is April 22, 2013 and our trip meter on the RV is 4550 miles. We have been gone from home for for 231 days, not counting the week we were home at Christmas.
And we are moving to our next to last place in the continental US, Thunderbird RV Park in Monroe, Washington, about 40 miles east of Seattle. We are leaving Chehalis, Washington which is west and about midway between Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens. We visited both and I will tell you more about that later. I may have said this before but Larry and I both prefer driving in Washington to California. It is 8:45 and we are on I-5. We can change lanes, drive the posted speed and generally relax, and no one is giving us the one-finger salute. Nice.
For any Thousand Trails members who may be reading this, and I think there are a few, Chehalis was a lovely park with tall trees and huge ferns. It had a very state park feel. It advertises itself as "Where it all started", meaning it is the first Thousand Trails. Each TT we have been to has been quite different.
Having a membership has been a real money-saver, but most of the parks are very out of the way. There are so many RV parks on the West Coast, I am amazed. The accommodations at each varies just like hotels, from cheap and grungy to 5-star. Anyway..
I spent yesterday seriously mapping the trip across Canada. We are nervous to say the least. I guess we are excited, too, but I'm not sure that fear isn't creeping in a little.
Later, when I have pics of Rainier and St. Helens.
