Trip North to home Mar. 20th - 24th. Cool rain, rain and rain.

 Not very eventful, did see a herd of Elk in Oregon. First night we stayed at Blue Ox RV Park, near Albany, very nice. Big wide sites, lots of shrubs and trees, very tidy. Next was Midway RV Park near Centralia Wash. I was contemplating getting fuel before heading to the RV park but decided to fuel up in the morning. Good thing, they only had overflow parking available and that is only two sites. They park you in the road along side the wash house, power and water is supplied. Another trailer pulled in after us and took the last spot. If I had stopped for fuel, we might have had to move on. We were happy to get this site.


The topper is saggy because of the rain, looks nice but it rained most of the night.

Next up the drive through Seattle, not my favourite but necessary. Bumper to bumper for awhile but we made it through to Bay View St Pk. We were warned not to let Jack out without a leash when we were here on our way down. As he was anxious to get out, we put his harness on him. It really doesn't bother him much, no falling over as most cats do. All though it is a small dog harness we still had to make it bigger from the last time he wore it. Middle age spread, he will be ten in June.

The last push to the border and Fort Camping in Fort Langley. 

The border.  Where do you live, how long were you down, where did you go, what are you bringing back and any alcohol? Have a nice day. With all the political stuff going on, we were not sure what to expect, so that was good. It is great to be back on Canadian soil.

We got to the Fort Camping Mar 23rd and went to Ryan and fam. for dinner, we had a nice visit. Costco run today, then the ferry home tomorrow. Our route from Valley of the Rogue.

I will post expenses when I get home.

For those of you that have been laying in bed at night wondering what the final count was, here you go.  lol  All in all, other than the engine, it was a good trip. Some good weather and some not so good. We saw some new places and visited some of our old favourites. It is unlikely that we will go that far south again but you never know. The mileage above is kilometres.  This summer we will stick closer to home in BC. In May we will go the Grand Forks, then explore around there for a few days, July a get together with the kids at Fawn Lake in the Caribou. Then a trip somewhere in the fall. Winter trip done.

Boice-cope Pk., Oregon Jan. 3rd - 4th Same weather as before, with hail for good measure.

Our route so far. Boice-Cope is a beautiful county park, we are going to spend the day here. Last night it was quiet and dark,with no one right beside us, awesome. We have water and power, there are showers and there is a washer dryer for use. We don't use any of those but it is nice to see these amenities. Fairly open but a lot of space between sites.This has been the best campground so far. Oh, and it was only $20.00 US, until now, we have been paying $37.00 US plus a 25% surcharge for being a non-resident. Ouch. We just found out the price changed on Jan. 1st to $30.00, we owed another twenty but he would only take ten extra for tonight. We only saw the signage for the old price. A photo of the campground. Google map of the lake, we are camped were the blue dot is. We did get out for a hike but not to the ocean. The trail is completely flooded. Found some interesting history on our walk. Shots of the lake, the ocean is on the other side of the berm. Speaking of rain, we had lots...
