21JUL-08AUG15 - Sultan, WA (just briefly)



Tuesday morning, 21JUL, we made the final push to house in Sultan, WA.  Leaving the RV park put us on a beautiful portion of Trans Canada 1 Highway; an extremely beautiful drive but can see how it would be challenging in winter.  Crossing the border took us 30 seconds at Sumas, WA.  As always I-5 from Bellingham, WA, to US 2 in Everett was no fun; 206 miles driven.  Immediately upon parking the RV Corrie started working on the yard/gardens & doing the laundry, while Dan turned the utilities back on, washed the Toad, & partially emptied RV cargo holds.


Since we are leaving in less than three weeks for a family reunion in Manitoba, Canada, the rest of our brief time in Sultan was spent:

---many days spent emptying RV, washing RV, complete cleaning of RV interior to get rid of Alaska/Canada dust that got into every nook, cranny & drawer
---major cleaning of Toad, including pounds of gravel in the pick-up bed from our Alaska trip


---even though Seattle is experiencing major drought (tenth of an inch of rain since March, & more 90 degree days then ever recorded) still tons of gardening, mowing, brush hogging, etc, to prep for next absence
---Dan’s birthday
---medical & dental
---discovering bear scat on property & tracks across the deck


Before we knew it, it was time to backload the RV & secure the property to commence our drive to Sprucewoods, Manitoba, tomorrow (09AUG).
