A very long day with little hiccups along the way.

We pulled out from The Cedars RV Resort in Ferndale, WA at 8:30 Sunday morning.  It was a cool 46F, cloudy and quite windy.
 
Just south of Bellingham it became foggy and a little rainy.  We had to make 2 stupid little quick stops - one because the leveling boards were in the box of the truck and bouncing and also because while driving the door for the battery compartment came open while we were driving. 
 
We took the 405 around Seattle and traffic was really quite good.   We decided instead of stopping for the night in Kelso, WA – we would just stop for fuel, lunch and a few groceries.  We did notice one of the trailer tires was low so we had to try a couple of gas stations before we found one with a working air hose and then we were back on the highway about an hour later.  We decided to stay on I-5 through Portland and traffic was just fine. 
We first noticed snow on the fields around Springfield but there wasn’t much and the roads were dry.  We decided that since all was good we would push on and head for Seven Feathers. 
 
We arrived at 5:45 and went straight to fill up with fuel before heading to the RV Park.   At Registration we were welcomed with hot cider and fresh coffee.  After a quick check-in we were escorted to our site – which is an end unit right beside the showers and laundry room.  After hooking up the RV and dropping the landing legs – we opened up the slides and put the furnace on to warm things up.  It was a chilly 46F so we turned on the electric fireplace and turned on a heater in the bedroom.  We used the courtesy phone to call for the free shuttle that took us to the Casino for a wonderful buffet dinner ($30 for 2). 
We headed back to the RV for some R & R and since the WIFI was down we turned on the TV for a bit and were in bed by 10:30.

Total miles for Sunday: 475
 With no internet hookup tonight - this will have to be uploaded sometime Monday.  By for now.
