Well folks, our trip down south has ended. We're back in our little city in the North Okanagan Valley of British Columbia exactly five months from the day we left home.
We, I should say I, have been sleeping in late into the morning. The air, the light, everything is condusive to sleeping, but I am managing to stay up and not go back for a nap in the afternoon. We got back Friday, March 26th after driving from Pasco, WA to Oliver, BC on Thursday. I know the last blog said we were staying in Oroville, but it was early afternoon and we still had lots of daylight, so we got through the border in very quick time and drove to Oliver, where we found a new RV park right on Hwy 97, called Desert Gem RV park. The rate was very reasonable, the traffic noise barely heard and the park not full so it was also very quiet. Because it is new the washrooms and showers are very clean.
We've been putzing here at home too. The rig is slowly getting emptied of the detritus that follows a long trip away. The inside of the rig is pretty empty of all foodstuffs and clothes, but we haven't touched the basement yet. I've already done a load of laundry and now my laundry basket is full again. Tomorrow is another putzing day so the laundry will probably get done then. On Saturday we reinsured our vehicle and today Mike took it out of the garage and put the plates on it. Now I'm just looking for more sunshine and warmer weather. It is, after all, Spring.
One last thing; we like to say thank you to all the people we met who were so good to us on our travels, giving us rv and travelling advise, rides to the market, putting us up in your beautiful homes, etc. I can't forget our neighbour, Arnie, for collecting our mail and generally keeping an eye on things here at home; and to our kids, who stayed in our home and looked after it when they needed a place to stay. We hope to see you this summer if you live around us and next winter if you are going back down South. Keep in touch eh?
The Holoidays back home.
