After a good night's sleep, we were up early but didn't rush to get on the road...it's not a long drive today. It was about 9:30 when we pulled out of the casino. Steve took this picture of our overnight camp spot before we left...Stillaquamish River...
As you can see, it was a very cloudy day but for the most part, the major rain held off. Considering heavy rain and possible thunderstorms were forecast for the last couple of days as we drove north, we really didn't have much except overnight...which was nice.
We stopped in Ferndale at a Pilot station and filled up with our last "cheap" diesel $4.00 per/gal before we hit BC. Just before the Peace Arch border crossing, we took the exit over to the truck crossing...
There wasn't too much of a line up...maybe 15 minutes or so, not like on our way down last October when it was well over an hour. Steve managed to maneuver the rig up to and after chatting to the border agent, through the gate...they certainly don't give you much room if you are in a big RV!
Ahhh...back in Canada...eh! We were soon driving through Langley on our way to Fort Langley...
Yup, there are those pot holes we just love! They seem to opt for pot holes instead of speed bumps!
Unfortunately, the rain just couldn't hold off until we were all set up...Steve had to don his rain gear...
We will enjoy only one night here before heading over to North Saanich (Victoria) on Vancouver Island tomorrow morning. I will be spending a couple of weeks there helping our son, Rob, with Conner, our grandson. It is Angie's first trip for work since returning after maternity leave. Her two week student recruitment trip for UVic (University of Victoria) takes her to Norway, Denmark Sweden and Germany. Steve has a couple of appointments, so will go back to Fort Langley after those...and will likely have to return for a follow-up appointment with the dentist. Normally we would put our rig into storage for a month but decided not to this time...
