Awake: 6:35am Temp 55 sleep 5+03 cloudy overnight @ Marysville, WA.
1st of all, we both slept well @ this Casino RV Park. We left the living
room windows with screen open all night & released the air pressure on the
slide seals in our bedroom to give us fresh air circulation without using
the generator. We counted over a dozen RV’s in this area overnight.
@ 8:00am I started our quiet diesel generator to charge the battery bank.
After a small breakfast, we leave this dry camping Tulalip Casino RV Park
@ 10:13am, drive non-stop on I-5, I-90 & hwy 26 to Royal City, WA. Smooth
roads 95% of the time, arriving @ the R.C. Golf RV Park @ 1:32pm. Today’s
travel: 3+15 time 188 miles 26 gal used 7.3 mpg 57.3
avg speed.
As I pulled into our campsite, I noticed a sports car making a 180 degree
turn on the road next to the campground….then that same sports car pulled
up next to our motor home. It’s Frank! He drove over here to see if we had
arrived yet….good timing. We chat a little, & then he suggests that we
join them @ their home for a 4:00pm “happy hour” with dinner later. We
have a few things to do 1st, then we drive the 3 miles to Frank & Kay’s
ranch.
Happy hour was good….with snacking & gabbing & catching up on each others
travels + activities since we have seen each other during May of 2004.
7:30 dinner by Kay: Homemade stew and cornbread, salad, coconut pudding
with strawberries for dessert.
After dinner, we sit in the TV room & watch the Mariners baseball game &
continue our gabbing.
As we are walking out to our car to leave, Frank talks us into staying
another day by scheduling a local tour of the areas we haven’t seen yet….
starting @ 9:30am. How can we resist that?
Back in our bus, we watch a satellite movie: “Born to Kill.” Not exactly
a comfortable title…..but that’s Hollywood. This guy, Lawrence Tierney
(murderer) marries insecure Audrey Long, but can’t stay away from her
divorced sister, Claire Trevor. 1947. We were getting desperate.
