A really messed up day...






Hey there followers...
We are spending the night in Aberdeen Washington in a WalMart parking lot, making the best of a VERY bad situation.
We are fine, of course. But, the Toyota truck (our tow vehicle) has major problems ....
It seems it was not 'just' two rear flat tires this afternoon after we left the rain forest.
It is possibly the transmission.

It has been a day filled with 3 flat tires and using Coach Net to tow the truck to Aberdeen, and we are staying the night across the street from the dealership that
has the truck ....with the scooters still in the back. We plan to retrieve them tomorrow.
After we go get a UHaul to put them in !!!!!

It rained the entire day, pretty much non stop.

We did make the best of a bad situation. Once we got our spot here at Walmart, we walked across the street to the 'Meat Market' and got a rib eye steak and Mark put up the awning and we got out our little Coleman Roadside BBQ and had a steak, baked potato and corn on the cob for dinner.
Nice !
We went into Walmart to get some things we needed after dinner.
And now, It's going on 10 pm.
I think I'll hit the sack. Once again, Mark and Jack and now Jorge are asleep.

Take Care,
Thanks for checking in....
Any comments...?
We would love to hear from you....
