Well, after 18 days of travel, seeing marvelous sights, meeting wonderful people, taking hundreds of photos, sleeping in motels and eating restaurant meals, it was time to turn the car, Minnie (Pearl) as she is now known, north and west and head home. So, as we have been saying, "Days 17 and 18: At Sea". For the most part, we traveled under cloudy skies and cool temperatures. Quite a change from the sunny, hot weather to which we had become accustomed.
On Wed, we traveled 862 km to Ritzville, WA. Ahhh, Washington state, sounds almost like home. That left only 547 km for the last day of our adventure to our final destination, Surrey, BC, Canada, where we arrived at 2 in the afternoon. Surrey welcomed us with nice weather, sunny and mild, much nicer than the weather we left 18 days ago.
There is one interesting and ironic note to close this epic tale. After 10,500 kms. of driving on high speed Interstates, US and state highways, not to mention park roads without incident, just outside of Seattle on the I-5, a truck tire threw a stone and gave our car it’s first deep scratch and shallow dent. We were only two hours from home. How ironic.
