Nearly home and something different

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.
