As you can see from the previous post, we are at TT La Conner. It is a great campground, and if it would only stop raining for a while we would be able to walk some of the fabulous trails here. We arrived, in the rain, on Wednesday quite early, as we had made arrangements to meet Gary and Marsha, Darren's brother and his wife, at a casino some 30 miles south of here at mid-day for lunch. We left poor Mark trying different sites in order for his new satellite dish to work.
TULALIP CASINO
We had a good visit with Gary and Marsha, and a good all you can eat buffet lunch. They had to leave after a couple of hours, as Gary had to return to work. Some of us have to I suppose.
We stopped off at the Premium Outlet Mall, next door to the casino, and walked round the mall a few times, trying to walk off some of the great food we had eaten. It actually stopped raining while we were there, and the sun shone. WOW!!!!
We then started the drive home along the I5. After a couple of miles, the sky went very dark, and the heavens opened again. It rained all the way home.
When we got home we had to do a search of the campground to find Mark. He had found a site not far from the rangers station. But alas, still no Internet. He told us this was his tenth attempt at finding a site, and even if he couldn't get it to work, he was staying put. Thankfully, following a call to his tech support, he finally got a connection.
Thursday started bright, cloudy and cool. About mid-day we decided to go into La Conner for a mooch. Mark had gone into Mt Vernon. He needed to revisit Camping World, and Wal-Mart for some stuff he didn't get on our last visit.
So we parked the car at one end of the town and walked up one side and down the other. It is a pretty little town, and despite the weather, cool and damp, we had an enjoyable walk.
Dinner was at our place, Jane had the slow cooker doing its thing all day, so we all enjoyed pork fillet, mashed potatoes and lots of veg. Mmmmm.
The rain started just after Mark left us for his place, shortly before 8pm I think it was. It rained, and rained and rained all night long. Heavy rain, bouncing off the RV roof. Then it rained some more. I have never known it rain so much. In the morning, still raining, I send Mark a text, and tell him we will pick him up around 11.30, if he wants us to, as we have decided to return to the casino for lunch. After some arm wrenching, he agrees to come with us.
Another great feast, followed by yet another walk round the outlet mall. I bought a hooded quilted jacket I liked, perfect for when we get back to the UK. NO!!!Perfect for Washington State
The weather here is just like home.......SO WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE????? We are supposed to be following the sun !!!! Oh well.....
We dropped Mark off at home, and we drove round to the adult lodge, in order to use the Internet. The rain has stopped, but now the wind is blowing so hard the building we are in is creaking with the gusts. Lets hope it blows the clouds and rain away.
