Made it to Woodland, Wa.spending the night at the Columbia Riverfront Park. There was a heavy fog surrounding us but you could hear the sound of the fog horns from the big ships traveling the river from the Pacific to Portland just a few feet away. When the fog finally did lift we realized how bleak and grey it was and were impressed by the size of the tree trunks that washed up on shore from the last heavy rainstorm.
We got a late start and being a Friday the traffic was heavy but managed to get to Olympia for dinner and visit the Capitol Campus. Walked the dogs along Capitol Lake - a very nice walk and visited Christine Gregoire. A ctually, we stood outside her mansion and talked to the security guard.
We are all adjusting to the tight but well organized quarters. The dogs were on the cold side last night, but we were toasty. Tonight we will get them a warm blanket. The temp. when we arrived here was in the 20's.
Mike got tips from Shirley the experienced RVer on how to keep the poop from sticking to the sides of the grey water tank. The things you never knew..
Finally relaxing and getting into the RV mindset. Not sure what that is but anyway, hope you are well. Will blog again soon.
