Fueled up!

22 mpg! Pretty good!!

First dump station!

Yep, the dirty deed has been done.  Not much fun but no major calamities.  wasn't expecting to see again everything that had been flushed down the toilet.  Now I see why people avoid using the onboard toilet....then again, it's nice not having to use all those public restrooms, esp the questionable ones. Back in skagit ...

Final stretch

Two more important tasks to master- visiting the dump station and filling with fuel! Both very important!

Carnation farm

Where carnation milk got its start. Now it is Kamp Korey, a camp for terminally ill children. But today it is the site of a fall festival, with a pumpkin patch, corn maze, hay rides and all that good stuff

Getting a spare key at Ace

Or not.....or at least not one that works. the employee had problems from the start and in the end told us, we'll just charge you a dollar, I tried my best but I'm not sure it'll work. well sure enough it didn't. the key itself was entirely too thick. Drat.

Dry Run Origin

I was curious as to why it's called a "dry run" for a rehearsal. If you are curious too, here is a link explaining it all http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-dry1.htm

Lake Easton State Park

I could have easily been convinced to boondock again, but instead here we are paying $28 (plus $.50 for 3 minutes of shower water) at the state park for water and electrical hookups. Not completely necesary if you ask me, considering how much we use, but it's good practice. Not that it's difficult, apparently. Choo ...

Tonights Resting Place

Yes indeed, the true kathy experience is boondocking in the walmart parking lot...that or a rest area.  Tomorrow night will be the night of "luxury" as the plan is to stay at a full hook up campground so that I can get experience using all aspects of the rv.  In the meantime, I should really drive around wenatchee tomo ...

Getting tired, driving around Wenatchee

It's hard to give nightly updates after driving around all day, especially with only this phone to "type" on. My eyes get tired and I just want to collapse. I drove my first mountain pass today tho, albeit slowly. It went well. The Sprinter has good pickup driving uphill. It's more of the downhill that stresses me o ...

A few random photos

Here we go!!!

I just drove my first hour in our new Sprinter! A bit nerve wracking, to tell you the truth. It's an adjustment getting used to driving a big vehicle. I worked for fedex a winter season and that was driving a big cargo van, similar and equally nerve wracking. I'd like to say that I adjusted quickly to it but that w ...
