We have been in a pull-through site but with a tree on each side of our site and a tight driveway, we knew that when we left today that we would have to back out of our site. Not a problem until we got up this morning. Our neighbor had to vacate his site so he just backed his Airstream trailer back behind us near the dry camp area. Now, backing up will be a challenge. With me guiding from the back of the trailer, John backed us up as far as he could. Oh, oh - the trailer was in our way! I asked John what he thought about maneuvering the rig through the site that was vacated next to us (where the Airstream had been). John said he thought he could get us through the site but was concerned about how close he would have to get the truck to the car in the site across. Hooray! The lady was just getting ready to leave. Once she had pulled away, John pulled through the empty site and I got in the truck and away we went.
As we drove through Tacoma, it became very clear to us that we would not want to stay there as we could smell the noxious odor of a pulp mill. Yuk! We got through the state capital of Olympia and on our way up 101 towards Hoodsport. We made a wrong turn and got lucky with being able to turn ourselves around. John got another opportunity to practice his backing up skills. Good job, honey.
After two and a half hours of driving, we arrived at our new home for the week at Glen Ayr Canal Resort. We have a back-in site that allows us to have a great view of the Hood Canal from the passenger side of the rig and woods from the kitchen windows. Very nice. Third time today that John got to do his backing up thing.
After getting settled in, we decided to head south to the grocery store. We ended up paying for a pack of three rib steaks that we did not bring home. As best as we can determine, the checker was so busy talking that he did not give us the bag that held the steaks. As I checked with the store, they had no record of the steaks being put back, so we can only assume that the people after us went home with a bonus (hope they enjoyed them). The store recommended that I call the Store Manager tomorrow to discuss the matter. John and I determined that a special round-trip south would use approximately three gallons of fuel which was roughly what we paid for the steak. It would not be worth the cost. From now on, I will make sure that the checker gives us all our bags.
