Laundry and Lounging

Another chilly start, just 1C at 7am. It really makes us appreciate the little Buddy heater. It’s another beautiful sunny morning though.

We had asked at the Visitor Canter about laundry etc, and were pointed at a place out on nearby highway 80 that offered facilities:




Laundry was $3.50, and showers were $2.50 each, very reasonable. This was a little oasis of a place with a pond and lots of bird life, including a flock of noisy yellow-headed blackbirds.


Back at the campsite we had some lunch, and hung out a clothesline to finish drying the laundry. What a great spot!

Later I toured another self-built Sprinter van. Pat and Corinne were together 18 years before allowed to marry in Washington State. They later came and toured our van and had a visit, a nice couple of ladies.

Later still we were able to sit out in Tshirts and shorts with a G&T. The nights are cool, but it warms up nicely during the day.

The couple in the site before us had a hummingbird feeder or two, and had a lot of activity. Without the feeders we just caught glimpses of big blue-throated hummers.

After supper we took a nearby hike, up into the hills a bit. Some faraway rock bluffs glowed in the setting sun’s rays:


It was late enough that we started to worry about being out after dark, but we made it back to camp in the last light.
