Tuesday................

guess it's been a week since last update. Last Friday we packed up and left Paradise Point and headed to Sand Lake to play in the sand dunes for a couple of days. Got a new CDI box installed for the Rhino and needed to see how it would run. Well..............bad weekend to travel to Sand Lake as the sun quit shining and the showers started. "B" ses.........what difference does it make where we are, it'll still be raining. We arrived at Sand Lake Friday afternoon, got the TV satellite dish up and running but didn't try to set up the internet dish so we haven't been online for about a week. Dug and family and Mark and Laurie pulled in later Friday evening. We sorta holed up while the rains fell. Saturday we all drove into Lincoln City for lunch and to try our luck at the slot machines. I think we all contributed to the welfare of my Chinook Winds Red Brothers but Tami sprang for a nice lunch buffet for all. The Twerps spent a couple of hours in the casino play area. Got back to the beach and the rain had quit so was able to test drive the Rhino. Apparently the new CDI box is functioning OK as I raced a couple of other Rhinos and they declined to race again.

We left Sand Lake Sunday morning, stopped at Dug's house briefly and then headed up the highway north bound. We found a state park, Millersvania, just south of Olympia so spent the night there. Lottsa trees so didn't even try to set up satellite dishes. Monday we crept through Seattle, man that traffic is something else and we even missed the rush hour! Stopped at the Northern Lights Casino near Anacortes for lunch and made more contributions to my Red Brothers. Arrived at Deception Pass State Park to find trees, trees and more trees and don't believe we have a chance of getting any satellite signals. We might not make it the entire 10 days we originally planned. Today we drove to Oak Harbor, found the commissary and library so right now we're at the library and connected to the internet. Becky is getting her internet fix, I'm updating this and will try to download some geocaches so we might go hunting for some this afternoon. The sun has returned and the weatherman ses summer has returned and will be around for at least the next 7 or 8 days. Later, when the official photographer might have some photos to post..........my camer is busted and she won't share her camera!!! Will get back on line in a couple of days. Later. Wayne & Becky
