MEMORIES OF THE GIRLS.

Day 240 – Eight years ago today the kitties came to live with us. They were a little over 11 weeks old. We had chosen them when they were only a few weeks old but had to wait what seemed to be an endless amount of time to bring them home. Soon after we’d first met them, the entire three litters that had been brought in together developed the extremely-contagious Colici Virus. Many of the kittens didn’t make it. We still had an elderly cat at home and couldn’t bring the babies home until it was safe for Junee. Still, we had to keep them separated from Junee for a month. Two of the four tiny kittens had been quite ill, both weighing less than 1 pound when we brought them home. For the first couple of months, we had to weigh them all daily. Finally all were gaining weight and they were out of the woods. They have brought us so much joy since we brought them home!

NORTH OF THE CAMPGROUND.

Day 239 – It’s a little colder here at night but a little warmer during the day. On one side of us, barely visible through the trees, there’s someone (or maybe two people) camping in a very small Airstream trailer; we can’t see well enough to tell if it’s one person or two – that’s how quiet they are, darnit. Grin. On the other side of our site, between the trees, we can see a young couple camping in a tent. Not a peep out of them.

THE WILDLIFE PARADE CONTINUES.

Day 235 – There’s always something going on at the campground. The RV is facing the harbor and a little bay or inlet. The large RV windshield faces it all. Every day we see Deer, Canada Geese, Seals, River Otters, Bald Eagles, Great Blue Heron, Raccoons, Purple Martins, Starlings, Sea Gulls, Ducks, and Swallows. It’s really just a matter of whether we grab the cameras and go outside, risking the activity might stop, or just continue to view from inside the RV.

TRAVEL DAY

From: Elwha Dam RV Park, Port Angeles, WA. USA.

To:Salish Seaside RV Haven, Victoria, British Columbia. CANADA.

Day 232 – It was 51 degrees and cloudy this morning. Before packing up to leave for the ferry, we had a couple of errands to run in Port Angeles. We mailed some things from the post office; we didn’t want to deal with a Canadian post office, different postage, etc. Then we made a quick stop at the health store – because we lost our toothpaste. We searched all over and couldn’t find the toothpaste and our current tube was running out. Weird. Whoever heard of disappearing toothpaste.

Cumulative travels from 10/11/2021 to 05/31/2022, 7372 miles (3:40) 48780-56152
