8/19/05. We arrived at our final destination after crossing through customs on a rush weekend. Still, we got to the HiddenValley RV Park in Lynden, WA, with little incident and settled down to relax. The next morning, Jery and Ed (our wagonmasters) made breakfast for the bunch of us. Pancakes and coffee, very good. Most spent the day just sort of relaxing or taking off the improvised armor that had been riggd for the riggors of the northern roads. Later that night we had a pot luck dinner followed by an "attitude adjustment" hour over at Jerry's rig. Great supper and a good time enjoying our last night together as a caravan. Many good-byes and, as can be expected, evident emotions. We have been together for the last two and a half months, seeing a lot, experiencing a lot more. Many made jokes about not knowing where to go next without someone telling them.
Even though it was time for the caravan to end, and we were all pretty tired and ready for it to end, still, you get that bit of sadness knowing that something that was pretty memorable was about to end. Something that was one of a kind and not to be repeated. There are no pictures for this as section as I did not take any. I wish not to remeber the parting, but rather the possibility of continuing the journey with these new friends at a later date.
Tomorrow morning, Mom, Christa, Lucy and I head south for Seattle and a campground that we can spend a week at and do nothing but relax and maybe straighten the rig up a bit. To my Caravan friends, I look forward to seeing you all sometime in the future, to everyone else following this blog, I invite you to continue on with us as we head (sort of) back towards Texas.
