Hi Judy.....

Too many towns start with 'B'........I have a funny story..... 

I frequent the RV newsgroup on the internet..... got a note from one of my 
friends who said I need to stop and say "hi" when I am in Washington.... and 
he said another guy on the newsgroup lives near him.

So, yesterday morning I left my Border Collie friend's place and drove two 
hours up to Bellingham...where they lived.  When I got in I tried to call 
Pete as planned, but couldn't get through.... confusing me.  So, I emailed 
him...said "I'm here!"  I'm at the Bellingham RV Park right off I-5 next to 
the Hampton Inn.

He wrote me back... this is what he said....

<<Did you confuse Bainbridge(me)/Bremerton (Ralph) with Bellingham?>>

Oops.... <sigh>  Here they are waiting for me and I'm up in the wrong place 
)c:

So, I'm back down in Carnation.... at my Border Collie friend's.  I did tour 
around
Duvall today... a nearby town.  Very nice.  

The two bright spots.... last night one of our listies, a lurker with an 
Integrity, stopped by with his dog to say hi.  

Today I got to meet Steve the "bassman", I did find him (c:  We met and had 
lunch, it was really fun.  He's the listie who wrote that amazing story about 
moving "Old Mossy" out of an apple field here in Washington.

So, here I am again... going to stay with another listie for a day or two 
tomorrow..... then on to Bainbridge to find Pete.  Then on to Sequim.

I can't find any campgrounds at all in Woodalls for Bainbridge Island.... 
anyone ever camp there?
