July 31

Leavenworth to Gig Harbor, another 4 hour uneventful jaunt. We’re staying at the only rv park in Gig Harbor, the Gig Harbor RV Resort. Not much of a resort, although it does have a tiny swimming pool. The park is built on the slope of a hill with tight sites cut into the slope parallel to each other upslope. There’s another flatter section at the top, but these are smaller sites and seem to have mostly long term residents. We’re stopping here to visit with friends Vern and Sharon Kondra who live in Tacoma and so Rob can go salmon fishing with Vern.

Tonight we had a visit from some friends from our motorhome group, Southwest Country Coachers, Kathy and Emerson Marsh and their poodle, Fanci. Kathy and Em live in Montesano, about 1 1/2 hours away from Gig. They no longer have their motorhome so it was a treat to see them.

Success!!
