On Our Way to Victoria, Canada

The Escapees Mailbox at Chimcum, Washington

We are at the Escapees RV Clubs Coho RV Resort here in Chimcum, Washington getting ready for our trip across the Straits of Juan de Fuca from Port Angeles to Victoria tomorrow.  Yesterday was sunny, and we had a good trip up I-5 yesterday, just missing a large accident near Chehalis.  Fortunately, we were ten minutes behind the accident so did not get caught up in it, but got delayed for about thirty minutes.

After setting up camp here in Chimacum, we drove into Port Townsend and had dinner on the waterfront.  Pamela had crab cakes, and Neil had a great dish of fresh halibut.  While there, we watched a flock of small, geese-like birds called brants foraging along the waters edge while Friday evening sailors sailed by in fleet of sailboats.

Sailboats on a Friday Evening Sail

 Today, we visited with Neil's folks in Silverdale and caught them up on our 7,000 mile RV adventure (so far).  We had a great lunch with them at The Olive Garden, and visit with them at their place in Silverdale.  It was a good visit, and they are one of our regular readers of our blog.

Tomorrow, we drive about forty miles to Port Angeles where we take the Black Ball Line ferry, the Coho to Victoria, British Columbia.  We have a RV park reserved right on the Inner Harbor of Victoria where we will be for several nights before we head up the island with our friends from Juneau, Jim and Elaine.

We will be visiting gardens, hard cider mills, and other points of interest on our way "up island".  We will also be taking a side trip to the West Coast of the island to Tofino, where we will be spending a couple of nights.  We are looking forward to the trip and spending time with our good friends.  Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
