Hope, B.C. to Blaine, WA - September 22, 2010

We got a fairly early start this morning out of Hope, BC and reached the Sumas boarder crossing before noon. BACK IN AMERICA!!  We were selected for inspection by the US customs agents there.  They kept us in the building without a potty break until they completed a search of the 5er and were satisfied that we were on the up-and-up.   


We continued on the Blaine and found a nice RV park (Lighthouse RV park) a few blocks from the beach.  It was clean and had plenty of room to park even tho I had a bit of a problem backing in to the site.  This RV park is clean, big and roomy with 50A electric service, water, and sewer at each site (no trees but lots of grass).  Near our site is a clean laundry and bath facility.


While here we drove around scenic Blaine and then visited the cemetery where Betty’s folks are buried.  Nice quiet resting place with friendly owner and employees that we talked with for awhile. 


We stayed a couple of days in Blaine and took a day trip to visit Richard Renninger, a friend of Betty’s who lives in Langley, on the south end Whidbey Island from the north end over Deception Pass .  We enjoyed the scenic drive down the island and after visiting his home Richard gave us a tour of Langley and then went to dinner.  It was a 2 hour drive back to the Blaine.  Squatty and Tiger Lilly were glad that we came back.  DRW
