2007 Fleetwood Discovery
Our travels through Alaska and other places!
Thursday
- 5/31/07 -
8:00 a.m. Going to bed at 10 p.m.
last night and getting to sleep around 11 p.m. even with it daylight
outside, made getting up a little hard this morning. :) We just got up, got our showers, having
coffee and will be taking off pretty soon. Have lots of pictures to
post up through Canada. Yesterday, we stopped at a beautiful
river that was starting to thaw. Apparently, the river had been frozen over and was just
starting to break up. Looked like a jig saw puzzle breaking apart. Pretty awesome! The weather is beautiful here
this morning. Love and miss you all. 10:15 p.m. - Well, we finally got set
up at a Good Sam's RV place, the
Toad River Lodge & RV Park. The
view of the mountains with snow on them is awesome! We pulled in
here about 9:30 p.m. Lester drove about 450 miles today. The scenery
on the way up here was just beautiful. Part of the problem is the
road is like a two-lane country road with no place to pull off, so a
lot of the pictures I would have loved to take just didn't happen,
but I have plenty of others that I will post.

6:00 a.m. - Good morning everyone.
We're in Clinton, British Columbia, Canada. Lester drug me out of
bed at 5:30 a.m. this morning. We need to put some miles behind us
today! I posted one picture on the home page and will post the other
pictures I've taken so far on our tour through British Columbia,
Canada. Weather is really nice. 10:00 p.m. - OK Everyone...try going to bed at 10
p.m. and it's still light outside!!! How strange. We're in
Chetwynd, BC, Canada right now. 
Sunday
- 5/27/07
- Another rainy
day. I feel sorry for all the tent people that have come in during
the last couple of days. The weather up here is different. One day
it can be beautiful and 75 degrees and the next day it's cloudy and
rainy, but still nice. I love the cooler weather, especially since
talking to Rebecca in Las Vegas and my sister in Mesquite where the
weather has been around 95-100 degrees! I LOVE the cooler weather!
We are leaving here Tuesday heading up to Alaska!

Well, I finally got the
Reptile Zoo
photos posted. Quite an interesting bunch! :) Today we drove up to
Snoqualmie
Falls which was not very far from where we are staying.
It's probably not spectacular compared to others, but when you get
up there and hear the roaring of the water falling and the feel of
the mist coming off the falls, it's pretty spectacular in its own
way.

- Hi everyone.
Well, we're just taking it easy around here today. Well, I am
anyway. Lester is out cleaning the RV. Later on we're going to drive
into Sultan, a little town outside of Monroe, WA. Since Rebecca and
family are leaving Las Vegas at the end of this month, we have made
a change of address to my sister who lives in Mesquite, NV. Both
Rebecca and my sister, Peggy, have sent mail they have received to
the General Delivery in Sultan. It should be there this afternoon,
so that's our big journey for the day...getting our mail. :) This is
really a hard life!!
Tuesday
- 5/22/07
- We ventured out
again from the Thunderbird Resort and drover over to the "Waterfront"
in Seattle today. It's definitely a "tourist" area. I've posted pictures of the
Seattle
Aquarium
and surrounding area. It must have been "field
day" for all the elementary schools because there were buses and
kids everywhere in the aquarium. The weather was really nice. We got
a cup of coffee and went out on one of the piers and just sat and
enjoyed the weather and scenery.

Lester and I went
to the
Reptile Zoo
in Monroe today. How interesting. I will be posting pictures
within the next couple of days of these little and large creatures.
Tomorrow, we're going to drive over to Seattle, WA and check out the
"Seattle Waterfront". There's lots of things to see and do over there, so no
telling what other pictures will be posted within the next few days. It's been raining off and on for the last 3-4 days here, but that's
ok. We're enjoying it. We have been getting up in the morning and
walking for about 30 minutes each morning. Lester has been doing it
ever since his little "heart" episode, but I've just now started doing
it. Sure does make you feel better. Stayed tuned!! Love and
miss everyone.
Saturday
- 5/19/07
- We're up here
in Monroe, Washington and it's beautiful as you can see from the
pictures I've posted for the
Thunderbird Resort.
My sister called
me from Mesquite, Nevada this morning and said it was 100 degrees.
Oh my gosh...it's probably been about 70 degrees up here -- a little
cooler this morning since it's been raining a little. There's a
little storm coming through here this weekend. Yesterday it was
beautiful so I tried out the pool and spa --the water temperature
must have been 80 degrees. Debbie Gomes from ROP will be up in
Anchorage, Alaska the first part of June. Lester and I are leaving
here earlier than planned and hopefully rendezvous with her
somewhere up in Anchorage. How exciting!
Monday

- Hope all of you
ladies had a wonderful Mother's Day! We are down in a hole sort of,
we don't have phone reception, so have to drive up on the hill to
make telephone calls. Since Mike and Rebecca are moving at the end
of this month, I have put in a change of address to my sister's
address in Mesquite, Nevada. The wind blew again yesterday and last
night. Not sure that I've ever been where the wind has blown quite
like this. Kind of eerie. We will be here until Thursday and then
leaving for the Thunderbird Resort up by Monroe, Washington and will
be there for two weeks (unless we decide we want to do something
different) and then heading on up to Alaska.
Friday
- 5/11/07
- Good morning
everyone. I'm finally getting around to writing in a journal and
hope to do so on at least a weekly basis. Today is our first morning here at
the
Crescent Bar Resort.
It's pretty serene here,
little bit of wildlife, beautiful lake. Although we had probably
25-30 mph gusts of wind all last night, you would have never known
it this morning. It's suppose to be around 80 degrees today, but
this morning, it's really nice. Lester and I went outside and had
our coffee while looking out at the lake. Last night we had a wasp
in our RV and when Lester went to swat him with the flyswatter, he
was gone!! Oh my gosh, we couldn't find it anywhere and I had to go
to bed knowing that wasp was in my RV. But low and behold, he came
out this morning and Lester got him. Whew!! Well, have to go for
now, Lester and I are going for our "walk".
