Have some cathching up to do since we haven't had internet. We arrived in Washington on Thursday. Tuesday night we stayed in Quesal, B.C. We had have traveled farther but were stuck in traffic 1 /2 hour due to an accident. A pickup pulled out in front of a logging truck. The pickup driver died and there were logs all over the highway. We drove back to a campground we had passed 15 miles earlier and chilled. Wednesday night we stayed in Kamloops, B.C. Thursday morning we were delayed by Larry's great escape. He leapt from the bed out the door when Eldon opened it. Ususally we are ready for him when he's in that mode, but he tricked us. Luckily we only had to wait an hour or so. All of British Columbia that we have seen has been beautiful. We passed up lots of Canadian fruit and veggie stands on Thursday because we didn't want them confiscated at the border. Great thinking on our part...........the customs officer did enter the camper to see what we had. They were nice and just doing their job, but it seems to us fruits and veggies don't need to be border priority! We stayed in Tonasket, WA on Thursday. There was a farmers market near the campground so we got our goodies there. We are in sweet cherry country - they are great. We didn't drive far Friday due to frequent stops. We stopped for a church rummage sale, stopped in Republic, WA for sidewalk sales and lunch and another farmers market. We also had some road construction stops. We've been traveling quiet, 2 lane highways. We stopped early yesterday in Kettle Falls WA so we would be sure to find a campground with electricity. We need air conditioning as we are roasting here. It was 98 yesterday. Looks like we are taking our time getting home!

Comments from Eldon: British Columbia is very pretty, but I'm glad to be back in the U.S. I like Canada, but it is so darned expensive. Plus they have the metric system which drives Cindy nuts. She never knows how far anything is or how much it costs. They sell gas by the liter. Oh yea, $5.00 a gallon is a bargain there. We paid more most of the time. In Washington we made the left turn home, but I want to go at a slower pace, real slow.

Comments from Larry: I made the great escape at Kamloops. I would have stayed out longer but there wasn't much to do. It is real hot in Washington. I think they should run the air conditioning in the camper when they are riding in the truck. I seem to want to get home faster than E & C, especially E. I need to get home for some mouse hunting.
