Astoria to British Columbia

We leave Columbia and Head towards Washington.  That's some bridge.
It keeps going and going
and going
We are now in the State of Washington
Glad to see they have a sense of humor
We lay over at a rest area in Elma, WA.  Find this Trillium while walking Tucson
We get up early to get through Seattle
Its a little busy but is moving

Until it wasn't.  Fortunately only about a 15 minute delay and then smooth sailing

Until we leave the Walmart at Bellingham and can no longer ignore the grinding noise when braking.  We are headed to a Goodwill in Marysville, and stop for Gas where some jerk that is parked and blocking our access to the pumps refuses to back up 5 feet when we ask and throws us the finger.  We manage to get to the pumps anyway and Gary asks the couple next to us if there is a tire place nearby- they send us down the road to Les Schwab.  It is going to be 30-45 minutes to look at it so I walk the 1/2 mile to Goodwill.  I find a few items and as I'm leaving Gary is coming in.  We head back to Les Schwab to find out the Truck needed new Pads, Rotors and Calipers, it was a little more than my Goodwill run.


We are more than ready to cross the border

They let us in!
Drive by lots of fields with what at first looks like vineyards, but I comment that I've never seen grapvines trained like that.

Shortly before our turn-off we have decided they are raspberries.  Looks like we were right
But then how am I going to take pictures for my Blog???
Last chance to change our minds!
Encountered quite a bit of traffic here - they were having a Tulip festival

Looks like maybe some snow in our future

Our journey north begins on Route 1
