Thor Hurricane Class A Motorhome - Bellingham RV Park - Time 1645











What a day!

I was up at 730 but didn’t get away till 12.  Stowing gear and then a struggle to load the Vespa.  The water on the ramp and the incline. I’d asked Mach if he could help give me a push to get it over the hump/. He said he’d come once a delivery arrived. Waiting I realized I just needed to put the Thor out on the street and I’d have less incline. Also I wiped the rain off the ramp.  It worked . Mack arrived to help with the tying down.  
Noon I paid for the propane.  Helena was there.  I’d pulled out a screw on the blind. It was just a hassle to get it back together. I didn’t leave till 1230.  I’m quite anxious.  A lot of noises I don’t know. Madigan upset and anxious.  

At the border Ifollowed the Nexus sign but it was quite tight. In retrospect I’ll take the bus lane for future.  As I was leaving the checking.I caught my right mirror and tore it off. They wanted to inspect my vehicle.  I had the house plant hanging between the seats so assumed that was it. They eventually took it and said houseplants are verboten.  I’d cleaned out the meat and dumped the creamy.  

They inspected the motorhome and gave me a pass. The trouble is the mirror was off.  I couldn’t fix the advance wired for the tv view but I was able to screw hammer and goop the mirror into the holes where it came out from. It was solid enough to allow me to drive of. I tried to stop at Birch bay when the propane alarm began to scream so loudly.  It was irritating and took me back to ICU duty and all the alarms I lived with when I worked in hospitals.  

With 2 problems I figured  I had to find an RV park and call for help.  I drove around Birch Bay and Ferwood . Great views. The sea was a wonderful sight.  I finally got the mechanical working but the sensor was irritating. Meanwhile Madigan was anxious and huffing and I didn’t know if the air was bad or he was just anxious. He’s been very anxious.  We both have been

I’m exhausted with anxiety . Such stress driving the big Thor already but now with the wounded eye (mirror) and either a damaged sensory or leaking propane.  

A whooped pair gratefully pulled into Bellingham RV Park by the airport.  

I’m glad to be here but I have to get onto LA since I have reservcerations and will need to pick up Laura at the airport.  

The distance here is 1 hour but I was an hour at the border and then spent another hour wandering about Birch Bay before getting back to I5.  I’m grateful to be here.  Waiting for Barry Lewis OntheRoadRVService.com  316-530-3O2)
