Tonight we are in Bellingham, Washington. It was one heck of a journey. We drove the TranCanada Highway 1. When we started out this morning the scenery was the dry desert. The first part of the 200 miles was on the twisty winding roads up and down through the mountains. Then we finally hit the four lane portion of the highway and ran into horrible Labor Day Traffic and fog.
To make matters worse, after we stopped for lunch, Jim was feeling lightheaded and didn’t feel well enough to continue driving. Kathy and Warren decided to have Kathy T take the wheel of our coach and Warren would follow in their coach. So my Kathe was the navigator and we headed for the border. Kathy T was great, she loved finally getting to drive Jim’s coach. Unfortunately at that point the traffic was so bad that there was a 30 minute wait at the border crossing that we planned to take, so we drove to a different crossing with no wait. It was a little harder drive with all the roundabouts but we saved some time.
Border crossing was a non event. No questions, no food or doggie issues like we’ve been reading about. Smooth sailing back into the USA.
It’s cool here in Bellingham with the fog rolling in tonight. We were going to celebrate our arrival but everyone is so tired after eight hours on the road, it’s spaghetti for dinner. We are all ready to relax.
