ON THE ROAD TO BORREGO!!!!

Well, we got away early afternoon, leaving as the rain came down!

We did not go far this first day, we are in Mt. Vernon as planned, we like this RV park and we like the Margueritas that they make across the street at the Mexico Cafe! Good start to our journey back to the desert above the Mexican Badlands!

While driving through the Bellingham area, we first saw a car in the ditch off the freeway and it was facing the wrong way, the people were standing outside it and were fine. About a mile later, one more in the ditch and turned around and the people fine again. Another mile or two another in the ditch facing the wrong way, cops everywhere. We were starting to think we were in a movie or being "Punked". We barely went another mile and there was another, same thing and facing the wrong way and yet we saw another one after that. We could only conclude that because that strip of the I-5 is concrete and the rain was on an oily road that had not seen much rain, everyone was spinning out and going into the ditch! Larry said we weighed too much to do this, we brought a little more this trip!!!

Tomorrow we stay in Vancouver Washington, Larry is making a special dinner and we are cracking a bottle of Silver Oak that we bought 2 years ago in California and is rather special and delicious!

Cheers!
