Day 57: Sammamish, WA to Bruceport, WA

Day 57 6/24,/2015

View from our campsite

At 9:38am wiith hugs and kisses and a tear or two, we left the fine hospitality of Jerry and Kathy for the wanderlust of the highway.  It has been nearly two weeks since arrived in Sammamish and we have some settling in to do.  Rattles and cargo shifting keeps Mary hopping for a couple of hours as one-by-one, she tracks them down - all but a low speed rattle that eludes us.

I get used to the characteristics of the Pleasure-Way as we travel along I5 South to Olympia, WA where we once again leave the white knuckle ride of the interstate highway behind and resume our more sedate 55mph pace on the two lane. At Montesano, WA we fill up with gas and propane and head SW on route 107 to US101.

Giants surround us

Our route will follow US101 South along the Washington coast for the rest of the day and then on into Oregon.  We pass small fishing towns with names until we come to Raymond, WA -which has a reasonable name but dozens of iron sculptures along the road - elk, bears, fish people, fishermen and birds. 

We see a sign for the county campground at Bruceport and decide to stop for the night.  This is a wonderful spot atop a cliff and overlooking the bay.

The beach at the base of the cliff

We are surrounded by giant trees and end our day feeling content with our progress and comfortable with our first steps toward home.
