Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

we found out why hwy99 might be less traveled. it’s like a roller coaster. a winding, turning, climbing, narrow, with switchbacks road. but the landscape is beautiful and makes the drive worth it. for me anyway. jerry probably feels different.

this dog was fetching a big stick. he would bring it back but not to the man. he would have to go pick it up and throw it again. the dog got impatient and started going in the water and getting rocks. he would hold his breath, for 3 or 4 seconds, while he found one to bring back and bury.  I couldn’t believe he kept doing it over and over again. the owners said he has done that since he was a puppy.

we are always getting asked to take a pictures for people. but I think it’s much better without people in the view most of the time.

it was still the three day weekend when we got to whistler. and whistler is not an rv friendly town. there is one rv park and it was full. they were not very helpful. the streets are very narrow and are posted with ‘no sleeping in your vehicle overnight’ everywhere. it seemed like strictly an upscale tourist trap, so we drove on. I didn’t even take any pictures.

we found one more rv park outside of town. it was full but the very friendly man made room for us in a little tiny place with this view. no hookups but who cares.

the water pump for the back of the coach went out. on ‘that road’,  which it is now called, on a sunday of a three day weekend, with no towns until Vancouver. 80 miles away. we made it  there, but no repair shops were open.

the howe sound, on Vancouver’s  west shore is the prettiest color of blue. I tried to get a good picture but this is the best I could do.

all our tourist plans went out the window when we got into the city

jerry wanted if fixed in the states anyway so we found a camping world in Burlington, Washington. we crossed the border with no problems. last time they took a bell pepper.

we got a water pump Tuesday morning, jerry put it on while I was in a goodwill.  it works perfect now. but that didn’t fix the toilet so we had that done and now we can go on to seattle. I guess I should say the toilet worked if you flushed it the whole time with a cup of water. we were never without it.

today is august 6th and it’s a special day for someone special. Sharon turned ** today and we wanted to send her wishes.

happy birthday Sharon, we love you. jerry and jill
