Today I had a very short journey as I was only going as far as Seattle to visit a childhood friend. The journey took approximately 3 hours and was 264 kilometers=164 miles.
I took my time getting up in the morning, knowing I didn’t have to be in a hurry with a short journey ahead. I also knew I would be closer to “civilization” haha than I had been in a weeks, so I was planning to stop and have a leisurely lunch somewhere and find a Walmart or Target to do some shopping.
I crossed from Canada back into the US at the Sumas – Huntingdon crossing south of Abbottsford. I drove to Seattle area, where I got off an exit of Highway I-5 South to have lunch and do some shopping. After being on the remote roads of Canada and Alaska, the traffic around Seattle was intimidating!
By the way, what do I do with my dog and cat while I am eating and shopping?? Well, I could never leave them in either a car or the T@b in hot weather, but it was pleasantly cool, so I put them both in the parked camper, opened the fan cover on the top for some circulation inside and they were comfy and happy while I was gone for an hour or so.
The next day will be visiting with a childhood friend!!!
