The Launch!

We are finally on the road! After spending 2 months on Salt Spring Island, here we are at the BC ferries terminal. Day one was long and tiring. Up early, 2 hours on the ferry, followed by three hours of nasty Vancouver traffic. Picked up our bikes, mail and extra camping supplies and headed for the border. No issues crossing over, unlike the last time when we were shook down for possessing an apple without a sticker, good thing he didn't see the rifle and ammo! Haha! I kid, I kid!

After two days of driving, here we are at one of our favourite campgrounds in Canyonville Oregon, "Seven Feathers". Indoor pool, hot tub, laundry, free hot showers, and a casino across the road! What more could you ask for! Today we are waiting for our friends to arrive from Salem, Oregon. For those of you who followed our last blog, http://www.travelswithmango.blogspot.com We met them on our final trek home. They were kind enough to invite us to their home, cooking us a delicious meal and offering us a comfy bed to sleep in! We will spend 2 more nights here before we tackle Grants Pass. This is a big test for the car pulling the T@b trailer. If we can get up and over, we should have no issues for the rest of our journey. Knock on wood! Once we clear this mountain range we will only be a couple of hours from the sunshine of California!
