Wilderness or Wal-Mart, all the same to us, as long as it's free, one night we stayed at a waterfall sight up in the mountains of Oregon, then last night it was the Wal-Mart in Aberdeen, Wash.!!
They say you haven't been anywhere until you have visited Humptulips, Washington, well, we have been there, but we didn't go to La Push in the bush, we had to catch a ferry. We went around mountains mostly in OR and WA ,unlike CA! We had reservations for the ferry from Port Angeles , WA to Victoria on Thursday morning. we drove into town looking for a campground and seen the ferry loading, we went down and asked if we could get on, in twenty minutes we were sailing for BC a day early! We drove off the ferry and immediately went to Beacon Hill Park, Trish was crying, she hadn't been there for forty-four years! Then we went to the Old Vic Fish & Chips, but the prices were new! $20.00 special, two pieces of fish & chips and a beer for $20.00 bucks, it was their 80th anniversary special, we thought $20.00 bucks was really special, Paul can remember buying enough fish and chips for Sunday supper for six people for .75 cents, Trish can remember her and her mom paying four dollars forty-four years ago!
Then we went to see St. Anne's Academy , the private all girls school, that Trish attended for junior and senior high school! The tears flowed again, and she reminisced about how strict and straight-laced the nuns were! If they could only see her today!!!! We took a photo of the Tudor House and then it was time for a Tim's, our first for three months, well!!! Our first from a Tim Horton;s, we actually had one each morning from our large tin of Tim's in the camper!
