Day 80 of Our RV Journey to Canada & Alaska 7/31/14 - Back In the Lower 48 States

This morning we left Golden Trail RV Park at around 8:30 a.m.  We were unable to get in the park that we initially were going to, so we drove another hour to Arlington, Washington staying at a park that is being built right now but has some sites with electric, water & sewer. Arlington is located north of Seattle. ($27.00 Full Hook-Up).We traveled 275 miles today.  Bob filled up with diesel ($4.029 x 27.302 gal = $110.00 AB

We are getting anxious to get home to see family and also found out yesterday that our new 2015 DRV Mobile Suite just arrived at the dealer's....so we are very anxious to get in our new home as well.  We are estimating being back to Indian Creek Campground in Missouri around Aug 22 (which is 2 weeks earlier than we had anticipated).

Our plans are to go to Yellowstone sometime in the future and when we do that, we will tour the northwest area of the United States at that time.

I had another uncle pass yesterday morning with cancer.  That makes two uncles in the same side of the family pass since we started this journey.  Our sympathy goes out to Uncle Harold's wife and family.  May he rest in peace.

I took a few pictures today, not many, as I have had muscle spasms in my back for a couple of days and am medicated so I snoozed some of our road trip.










we went through several tunnels through the mountains

  1. Aw, Janet, sorry to hear about the passing of your Uncles ... hugs to you.

    But I bet you are glad to be back to your country, where it just feels like home to you.

    We will miss your tourism dollars... ha... but now you can turn on your phones, and call family. Teresa's complaint when we go south, is how to handle cell phones.

    Are you more excited to see your family, or your BRAND NEW RIG ... of course I am just kidding...the rig wins hands down...lol.

    Hugs...TnT
