When we woke up this morning, it wasn’t raining (yet). We
took advantage of the short time without rain to check out the beach. The coast
here is very different from that on the east coast. It is very flat as opposed
to where the eastern shore slopes down to the water. After taking care of our
morning duties (packing up, hitching up, and emptying the tanks) Barbara
decided to take on a second leg of towing the Escape. Despite the rain and
tendency to want to check out the coast, she did very well. Her knuckles
weren’t turning white and she didn’t exude the look of a deer in the
headlights! Due to the constant rain, we decided to head over to the Mt. St.
Helens State Visitor Center. The movie was good (but expensive) and we found
out that the National Volcanic Monument won’t be open until tomorrow. We
decided to camp across the street at another State Park and visit the Monument
in the AM less the trailer. We made a short trip down to Longview to pick up
some bins for the trailer and groceries to hold us for a few more days. When we
got back to the campground, we found that there are 3 of us in this loop, all
fiberglass campers. (1 Bigfoot, 1 Scamp and ours) We keep telling ourselves
that one day on this trip, we will look back and say, remember when 2 out of every
3 days, it rained! We try to enjoy each day as it comes, and remind ourselves
that the area wouldn’t be as plush without all this rain. (and we don’t live
here!!!) I know that there is a lag between writing the blogs and posting the
blogs, but we have decided to camp in woods instead of in metropolitan cities.
(More trees, less Wi-Fi and cell towers)
