Today we decided to travel down south of Seattle to look at a couple of 5th wheels. We have decided to get a trailer or 5th wheel to put on our first lot here at Port Susan, our original lot. Last year while sitting out enjoying libations our neighbor walked over and told us he was selling his lot. At first we weren't too interested in a second lot, but then we started to imagine all the possible new neighbors we might have and decided to buy it. The new lot is larger and easier to pull into that our first lot so we have been parking on the new lot. The new RV would be give us more room for projects, sewing and computers, a place for guests and our kids to stay and we could drive up without our motorhome if necessary.
The traffic was light as we started out around 11:30. The first 5th wheel in Tukwila was priced right and we realized we might have to spend more than we had originally planned. The entry steps were resting on cement blocks but still wobbled as you used them. Debbie was careful not to touch anything in the interior, it was pretty bad. Debbie had made sandwiches, now experienced with Seattle traffic she knows how to prepare, and we took moment to eat lunch. The next 5th wheel was located in an area called Lake Tapps and was like finding a Geo-cache. This one look pretty good but not perfect so we'll keep looking. On the way home we pass an RV sales lot and stopped to check it out. It turned out to be a consignment lot. If we thought the RV in Tukwila was bad, there were a couple here that even I wouldn't go in. They did have a couple of unit that were acceptable but were way over priced.
We started home and surprisingly, the traffic was not bad. As we approached our current home Ty, who had been such a good traveler all day, decided he had been in the car long enough. As soon as we parked the car he demanded to get out and go for a walk, not taking no for an answer.
