We were up at 7 today. We did the pet stuff, had breakfast, and were on the road before 8. I was worried that closing I5 at I84 would back things up, but it didn't. We made good time because everyone was exceeding the speed limit on I5. I totally ignored the limit on the 60 miles of secondary highway we drove on when we left the freeway. Frequently I was doing 70 in a 55.
We got to the resort about 10:30. It was actually a RV park. I wish Ellen had told me, we could have driven the trailer up and stayed with them. Cliff and Ona, Chuck and Cheryl, and Diane were there. So were some others I ddin't know. We had a great time talking to them.
The park is next to the Cowlitz river. We took Lucy down there and she had a great time swimming. Her swimming entertained everyone else.When we got back there was more talk and someone made lunch. After that it was more talk followed by someone making dinner. It was a fun time.
We left about 8. Again I really exceeded the speed limit getting back to I5. I wanted to get there before it got dark. We made it.
The trip down I5 was speedy until we got to milepost 26. The assholes were doing construction and had it going from 3 lanes to 1. It took 35 minutes to get through the 1.5 mile traffic jam. I had gotten in the left lane, the one that was open. Big mistake. I should have got in the right lane. Every one there was driving to the merge and assholes in the other lanes were letting them in. I could have been through in half the time easy.
We didn't get home until almost 11:30. We fed the animals, watered the cat, and went to bed.
