It’s Tuesday
February 8th. Hiking friends
in Victoria are only hiking in Oak Bay to-day rather than travelling to Sooke because
of the snow. A neighbor sends a picture of Pioneer Park covered in snow. We are
putting off returning to the last day (Thursday) that we have to be back
because of travel health insurance coverage.
We continue to
stop at Passport America discount sites. Shamrock RV in Eugene then 99 RV park
in Vancouver Washington and now in Little Creek Casino Resort at Shelton
Washington. In Eugene the fridge stopped
working so we managed to get to an RV repair shop to diagnose the problem – a
broken cooling unit that needs replacing or a new fridge. No problem for now as
bags of ice are sufficient. In Vancouver Washington “Tough Top Awnings”
replaced the awnings on top of our slide-outs. They had been recommended by RV
friends at Fountain of Youth.
This is a huge
Casino at Shelton Washington – on Indian land and it looks as though mostly
staffed by Indians. There are hundreds of slot machines, the usual black jack
and roulette places, six food outlets, and an hotel. I cannot help but feel sympathy with the poor
people who frequent these places and get addicted to gambling. We plan to eat
some seafood in an oyster bar this evening. Many Casinos are RV friendly and
have excellent RV facilities. There is snow on the ground here but the road
to-day was only wet. On Thursday morning we plan to take the Coho from Port
Angeles to Victoria. Hoping to find that the snow has melted – it is forecast
to warm up.
