We arrived at the Whidbey Naval Air Station RV park on the 4th of May and have been so busy that it is hard to catch up on our travel experience ... life is good!

I have a ton more pictures from the last 10 days or so here and will get to them but as we are off tomorrow morning these two will suffice. As you can see from the back end of the bus we are at the furthest west we will travel this year. In the distance is the Pacific and that means we must turn the Flying Scotsman around and head into the sunrise for the next 3000 miles or so.





The weather has been nearly perfect and the sunsets really cool. At night you can see the lights of Victoria BC in the distance.



Like I said I'll yak more about our stay on Whidbey Island while visiting our old friends the Gardners but here is a quick sketch of our next few weeks.

We have purchased a new sofa sleeper here locally but must pick it up at the factory in Dubuque, IA ... in a couple of weeks. To do that we have mapped out a tentative trip that will involve Glacier NP and Yellowstone as we motor to the east. The national parks we had planned to see so far have been closed by the winter snows so we hope we won't be disappointed on the next attempts.

We still plan on arriving in Barrie Ontario during the last week of May and have contracted for the Barrie KOA from then into the fall. Barrie is where Jo-Anne's dad, brother, and our niece live so it will be a good place to rest for a bit before exploring more.
