Day 21 cont'd

After a few more goodbyes at morning coffee we packed up and headed up the coast to Oregon.  We camped at the ORDKOA for the nite. It was a noisy spot as sand duners were camped there and they seemed to be going by our campsite for ever.  We met a young man who is peddling his bicycle from Mexico to Canada. He tries to do 50 miles per day.  If it was me, I would have problems doing 5 miles per day and Gerry would get in at least 10 miles per day. LOL

We rode as far as Bush Pioneer Campground and had an awesome supper at the Bay Cove Restaurant.  This place is about 20 miles south of Raymond, WA

On Sunday the 23rd we got to see the world's largest Sitka Spruce Tree. It was a lot bigger than the trees in the Redwoods.

We stayed the night at the Klahowya, WA State Park and had to pay 31.00 US and had no hot water in bathrooms.  You could have bought 3 tokens for $1.00 to have hot water in the shower, but as one camper said he used up 6 tokens and still had no hot water.  Two other ladies in the washroom the next morning said the same thing, so guess what?  We did not shower in cold water.

Today the 24th we headed for Westport WA to see the Lady Washington Sailing Ship only to find out that it was some where at sea.  We get a chance to visit the Museum.

Then on Monday the 24th we headed for Canada and crossed the over the ferry at Port Townsend before we headed north to the Port of Entry at Sumas, BC. 

The Ferry was the Salish.

We got as far as the Rainbow Ranch Bridal Falls campground.

On Tuesday the 25th we broke camp and headed up the Fraser Canyon towards Hells Gate.  We took the tram ride over the canyon.

On Wednesday the 26th we made it through 100's of miles of road construction on the Trans Canada Highway in BC, then once in Alberta we had to contend with smoke from many fires burning in the area before we stopped for the nite at the Three Sister's Campground at Dead Man's Flats, AB

We were gone for 27 days, had very good weather the whole time we were gone.

We put on 7500 KM or 4660 Miles.  All in all it was an awesome holiday, but still it was nice to get home to our bed even though the bed in the tent trailer is good.
