Today we finished packing up and turned the coach around in the drive and worked to get it out the drive onto the road. Arthur helped direct the process and actually leaned on his fence so that we could work our way out. It was a tight fit, but we made it.
We were sorry to leave this lovely island and our good buddy Arthur, but we had been there for a month or more, and it was time to head out. This part of our travels will be southward into Oregon and California stopping in San Francisco before heading east toward Albuquerque and then on to home base in Kerrville.
Once out of Arthur's drive we headed to the ferry for the trip back to the mainland, disembarking at Anacortes. We then drove south on I-5 driving through Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia, and stopping about 20 miles north of the Oregon border. Tomorrow, if all goes as planned, we will get to Redding, California. Traffic in the stretch of Seattle through Tacoma was hectic and slow in spots, but we made it through. I really do not like driving in heavy traffic with the coach, but with our late start from Friday Harbor made that Seattle stretch better when we hit it about two in the afternoon. At least we avoided rush hour traffic. I was glad to stop for the night and relax and have a shower. This country is so beautiful. We went near by three volcanoes today - Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, and Mount St. Helens. I would not like to be in the area when any of them explode again. They were all snow-covered today, but just beautiful in a terrible way. Happy travels.
