Day One


We got up early and finished loading the RV. Had a bit of a fight to get the ferrets into the closet where thier cage will be. I finally got it after a lot of cursing. It was a bit touchy there as to if we would have room for everything but we made it. Mind you the shower is stacked full of stuff. Oh well we will make it.We got on the road after some tearful goodbyes to Pasha and last minute instructions.

Went to just about Sidney near the ferry and stopped to get gas. The fellow filling up next to us informed me that i was leaking gas. We pulled over to the Mcdonalds across the way and after calls to all the RV places which are right in the area finally called Alpine to come help us since no one else would.

As we waited we ran into Fred, he told me it was Aud that had left the presents for me at Alpine. Well I guess I am down one stalker guy. Oh well it was fun while it lasted. Alpine finally showed up and jerry riged the filler hose on the RV. I filled up and it did not leak. Seems like we are good to go.

We finally got to the ferry after lunch. We missed the one ferry by about 10 minutes, talk about bad luck. Once over the ferry we drove straight to the boarded and went though. I used the peace arch boarder. I think I should have gone through Blaine with the RV since this was a tight squeeze but I didnt know that at the time.

We were through there in 10 minutes. No problems. We drove for a bit and ended up staying at a Walmart for the night.
