If you thought this message would be coming from Alaska you would be wrong. We thought we could drive across country and not have any RV problems, boy were we wrong! Lucky for us we have a friend in Washington State who is a mechanic and has been helping us get the RV back in shape. None of the problem were too serious (except for a roof leak) but there was a lot of adjustments needed (despite several expensive maintenance checks before we left). We rescheduled our ferry departure to July 11 and should be in Haines AK by July 15. We did do a check out trip to Mt. Rainier for four days of hiking, biking and swimming. We enjoyed walking thru the areas with large Western Cedar, and Douglas Fir trees. We had all types of weather from hail storms, high winds, heavy rain to hot and sunny. One storm causes the mountain pass to close and it took 4 days to clear the debris. There were 4 other road closures due to the heavy rain. Tomorrow we leave for a short camping trip on the coast before we get on the ferry. One advantage of being retired is the flexibility it gives you, and we found out we need to be flexible.
That's all for now.
