Waterfront at Potlatch - Potlatch, WA

After being serenaded by a gentle rain all evening, we packed up camp and headed down the road again. We stopped in Olympia at the State Capital - one of my favorites. This one also features a lot of marble, but with a grand, yet understated approach. One of the highlights is the largest Tiffany chandelier in the world! When we got back to DuEtte, we noticed we had a chip in the windshield ☹️. But, we were told to carry Gorilla Tape for just such an occurrence. So, I was able to whip out my tape and, hopefully, secure the chip so it doesn’t get any bigger and we can get it repaired. MacGivEtte to the rescue!!

Then, on towards camp. We are headed back North along the Western edge of Puget Sound. Our approach to finding a campsite has worked out pretty well for us, so far, on this trip. When we get settled somewhere for the night, we pull out the road atlas and most of our electronic toys and look to see where we would like to go the next day. Our ballpark range for driving is about 3 hours. So, then we check several apps to see if there might be any acceptable places for us to stay. We check Recreation.gov for National Park sites. We check Harvest Host for anything that may be fun to try and stay at. We also check a site specifically for RVs called RVLife. It is good for most of the private campgrounds. The parks and Harvest Host sites typically don’t have hookups, so we have been defaulting to private campgrounds at least every couple of days to make sure we can top up on fresh water and empty our grey and black tanks. We have learned that the fresh water is the real bottle neck for us. Tonight we are on the edge of the bay and enjoying the smell of the ocean and the gentle breeze…
