Day 2

Jan 19 Day 2 cold but sunny
We got up early to have the RV ready for their shop to install the new water heater by 0800. Then we went out with Paul & Yvonne to breakfast at the recommended Burlington Café, (going south turn left on Fairhaven), excellent clam chowder, great menu. Then back to Camping World to wait for both our rigs to be ready, (Paul had a problem with one of the taps not working). Finally all is fixed, installed and we are ready to pull out at 12:40. By joining the Camping World Presidents Club we were able to save about $233.00 at a cost of the joining fee of $19.00 which is good for discounts for a year. The total cost of repairing & replacing was into the 4 figures by a cpl hundred. Good thing exchange is so low. So, out 12:40 and down to Fred Meyer for gas, in at 12:45. Then I can’t find my Fred Myer gas card (good for 3 cents off a gallon), so a delay while I get another one & fill up, out @ 1:05 full tank @ 134155. We pulled into Emerald Queen Casino about 3, phoned Paul/Yvonne on their US cell with our US cell & found they had missed the exit & were 30 miles down the road. So we carried on, getting back on the freeway and arrived at 99 RV Park, a Passport America park, $12 a night full service and free WiFi ar 5:45 @ 134514 kms. Very dark in the campground and I ended up going into a pull through site the wrong way and hooked up then was told by camper host that I had to turn around, not thrilled but I did. Cooked supper and then discovered that we can’t seem to get any hot water out of the heater so it’s off to the Camping World down the road (1/2 hr and just off the hwy a block or two), to check it out. After journal it will be Bridge time with Paul & Yvonne. We played a cpl hours or so and Sheila & I got the slow rubber.
