We had a travel day today. Grandy Creek RV Park has full hookups so we were able to get going without too much delay. We did note a low tire on the trailer at departure so we drove east on WA-20 to a Shell station where we were required to donate $1.50 to an air compressor with a sign on the front that stated the a fraction (and probably a small one) of the money going in the slot would be given to an obscure charity. We filled the trailer tire to the specified pressure and headed back west on 20.
We soon came to Sedro-Woolley where we accessed I-5 south for the beginning of our trip toward San Diego. After only about 55 terrifying minutes on I-5, we turned east on WA-2 where the traffic became even scarier. After only a few years being frightened off our lives, we arrived in Monroe where we turned south on WA-203. We sort of took the long way to Fall City because it keeps us from going through the Seattle metropolitan area, a funhouse of signalless lane changes, circuitous exits, abrupt lane disappearances and the ever-popular variable speed limits, all installed on the sides of steep hills. For cowardly outsiders, like us, it is a treacherous path through a hailstorm of surprises and hard braking.
Eventually, we pulled up at Tall Chief RV Park where we have discounts both through Thousand Trails and RPI. The RPI discount is better; we paid $10 per night, plus tax. We were here in 2014. North Bend, Snoqualmie Falls and lots of great scenery can be found traveling in any direction from this park.
