Friday afternoon we got Mohita aboard the ferry to Port Angeles, along with our experienced traveling friends Lorne and Annie in their van. Once in the US, they introduced us to an American RV institution that we hadn't known about: Walmart camping.
Apparently Walmart welcomes RVs to park overnight in their lot and allows campers to use their washrooms. Many people who are on the road do this rather than paying for facilities that they won't use at an RV park. So we stocked up on food at Safeway and camped at Walmart. We enjoyed a nice steak dinner complete with a bottle of $6 Fetzer merlot. Our feast was by candlelight since we hadn't driven enough miles to charge the RV battery for lights.
Saturday we headed south to another Walmart in Springfield Oregon. Our plan was to ry to outrun the snow predicted for the northwest. But surprise, we woke up this morning to snow all over the ground. We've just finished moving both our vehicles to a nice RV park a few miles north and our plan is to wait it out. The dogs are happy--they love the snow. Heading out for a walk and a play. I'll post a few pictures in a while.

Walmart Camping. The ultimate oxymoron. What would Steinbeck say? Love ya, wherever you park!
