It was moving day again so we saddled up at La Conner Marina RV and headed out on the highway. Our entire odyssey of driving today was 17 miles of straightforward rural roads, WA-20 and I-5. Just north of the WA-20 / I-5 interchange, we pulled off the interstate on Bow Hill Road. Shortly thereafter, we were registering at the Mount Vernon Thousand Trails campground which is only two cities away from the city of Mount Vernon. The campground is actually in a zip code called Bow. This morning’s drive was so short that we arrived prior to the posted earliest check-in time but the staff seemed unaware of the rule and they signed us in.

Perhaps arriving a bit early was a good thing, in this case. We were able to drive directly to a recently vacated but still warm RV space that is quite spacious, quiet and with a gentle grass slope on one side of our trailer and dense brush 12 feet away on the other.

The brush is loaded with creatures. I spotted a hummingbird, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Western Tanagers, Spotted Towhees, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Steller’s Jays and some high-speed Yellow Warblers, tiny but cute chipmunks, marauding squirrels and cottontail rabbits just wandering around outside the trailer. We enticed these animals to hang around more by putting a bird feeder outside. Unfortunately, the squirrels are quite clever and have found a way to hang upside down from the support hook and dine from the feeder at will. I think they are getting a greater share of the contents than the birds are.
