2 June – Fraser River – Seattle –
Woke up to a quite campsite. Had Coffee and ate breakfast in the Toyhouse, then its on the road.
It started raining again by late morning. we stopped and had lunch just north of Hell’s Gate.
Picking up Canadian Rt 1 follows the Fraser river, WOW, what a beautiful route, I’m glad we decided to head back this way. The waters were deep and running fast.
(NOTE – The sun wasn’t out so most of the photos didn’t come out very good. I selected these because they may convey the immensity of the Fraser River – Note the train in the third photo)
I noted to Jodie all the RVs heading in the other direction.
We crossed the border into Good Ole USA. First stop was a gas station where we filled up all the tanks at $4.02 per gallon. Just one mile away into Canada the lowest price we seen was $1.40 per liter ( About $5.60 per gallon)
Jodie wanted to go through Seattle, so we picked up I-5. Bad timing as it was rush hour and 6 lanes of stop and go (mostly stop) Man, I don’t miss this at all!!!
We picked up I-90 and started our eastbound trek.
We found a great Place for dinner on the east side of Cle Elum, Homestead Diner – They specialize in BBQ ribs – BE WARNED – If there are two of you, order ONE dinner and split it. Another hour of driving and it was time to stop for the night. We found a nice quite rest stop and packed it in for the night.
