Awoke today in Saltwater state park (yes the name changed overnight. Forgot to mention that our rear hubcaps fell off yesterday just as we arrived in the campground. Due to the air hoses to the tire it stayed loosely attached. The noise that makes was most unpleasant. As the guy I said let's just reattach it but the doll said it's too loose we need a professional.
So our first chore of the day was an RV repair shop in Tacoma. It took about an hour and a half and now we have no hubcap but our air hoses to the tire are now attached to the rims. I guess that's good!
From Tacoma headed south towards Olympia the capital of Washington state. We stopped to see the Capitol building and then decided it was time for Mexican food. Checked the Internet found the best Tex-Mex restaurant and proceeded there where we found that it doesn't exist anymore. On the way we saw the Olympia lakefront fair and decided to eat there. 2 lamb gyros, 1 lemonade and 2 elephant ears(fried dough with cinnamon and sugar) and we were stuffed and headed south to Oregon. Found a great campground called Fort Stevens state park which for you know-nothings is the largest campground west of the mississippi. We talked to our campground neighbors and she happened to be the granddaughter of William McPherson Allen. I know you are saying who's that? Well every time you get on a passenger jet you can thank Bill Allen who was the president and Chairman of the Board of Boeing and personally developed the 707, 727, 737 and 747. As if that wasn't enough he developed the lunar lander and stage I of the Saturn-5. Not too shabby! See what you can learn from Harry and Ellen in Alaska!
