On to Washington and Home

It turned out the Les Schwab store is on the way out of town so we left that for the morning and pulled into Walmart after a stop at the Pendleton Wool Factory Outlet. Norma of course found some items we simply could not do without so we are a few pounds heavier.

Walmart did not have an RV bay in their lube and oil area so that is on hold again. We should have started looking earlier. We pass by a large Walmart near Portland, OR so maybe there. I want to get it done in the USA as it is much cheaper.

It was warm yesterday but turned very cold overnight! We might look for a Passport America park tonight so we can leave the electric heater(s) on all night. I miss Mexico.

We are going to try for the Thursday morning ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria. That will let us spend a couple of nights and day with our DIL, LindaLee in Shawnigan Lake and still make it home in lots of time to do our taxes. Brooks is working in Fort McMurray, Alberta and will not be home for a few more days.

  1. Check out places like . . . http://www.jiffylube.com/ . . . to see if there is one near you and give them a call about your size. There are many others that do quick and cheap lubes. We take our Bus to . . . http://www.speedco.com/index.php . . . but I don't know if they do gassers and there aren't many of them.

  2. I checked Mapquest to see where Fort McMurray is. Wow, it's really up there in the boonies. What are your summer plans at home? Just curious.

  3. He is working outside in -40 (F or C, it makes no difference).

    You have to be young to do that! They are building forms for foundations for HUGE buildings. The pay is good and he works every day for three weeks and then they buy him a flight home for one week. They are working ten hours a day now and will be going to twelve.
