Kit and Carol on the Road

We had to take Ida up to Bellingham for some service work Thursday morning. Our appointment was at 8 am. After our experience in Florida, we wanted to allow plenty of time for the work to get done. So we were planning to camp overnight in Larrabee State Park. Kit left earlier with the rig because he had some errands and I came with the car (so we could shop while Ida was IN the shop). We were supposed to meet at the park. It was quite a surprise to see Kit coming up Chuckanut Drive just as I was turning on to it but I thought it was cool he was just behind me--until he disappeared. I did not have a clue that he was blinking his lights and beeping at me. It turned out Ida had developed a major oil leak and he was having to stop frequently to feed her oil. So we both got to Larrabee and it started to Pour (no afternoon hike). All of the campsites seemed to be way off level and we were not looking forward to at least a half hour of fiddling with the leveling blocks and getting soaked in the process. (not to mention dealing with the oil leak). So we drove to the dealer and left Ida there and just drove back home. It meant another trip back the next day to pick her up but it's not all that far--and we did get to Trader Joes where we picked up enough party food to last a while. Come on by for a glass of wine and snacks.
