Today Auntie Violet kicked up her heels and left the dust of Adams County behind! We had everything packed up, put away and stowed by 10:30 -- pretty good considering we had been at the ranch since the 7th of June.
We stopped just before Ellensburg for diesel -- it was $2.99 per gallon with a check, cash or debit card. Other than that we just kept going. Sometimes awfully slowly though. They were working on the guard rail and had signs out several miles ahead asking traffic to move to the right lane. Of course, no one did until the last minute and by then with everyone dodging in and out of lanes, traffic was down to a crawl. A couple of truckers tried to block the left lane, but people kept skirting around them anytime they could see a bit of room...
The next slow-down was by Nisqually -- there was an accident on the other side of the freeway, but all of the "looky-lous" on our side had to slow down and check it out. We ended up with stop and go traffic for about ten miles!
We pulled into the Elma RV Park just before they closed the office at 5:30. We have a nice spot near the entrance. The fellow across the road was nice enough to move his pickup out of the way so that Forry had a sweet and easy back-in. It was still sweltering hot when we got here, but it has cooled off nicely -- had to shut the windows already!
