We Made It!


After a hair raising trip from Astoria to Longview, we drove on a nice clean freeway all the way to Seattle. Didn't have to go up the coast, although the information the gas station attendant gave Gary wasn't exactly correct. He said the roads were totally clear all the way. As you can see, that isn't quite true.


We dawdled thru the morning so the roads would have more time to thaw. One of Britta's friends emailed her about the Pig 'n Pancake (locally known as the Pig and Pan), so Gary suddenly had a need to eat there. I had wonderful Swedish pancakes, Gary had his usual, but Britta had something you don't usually find on breakfast menus--fried clams with pancakes! She thought they were great, I thought it sounded gross.

We made it to Mom's with no difficulty, but once we arrived the RV got stuck in her backyard. We found some boards and between Britta and Gary it is now unstuck and the dogs are having a ball in the snow. Tule gets cold and wants in eventually, but Elsie never seems to get tired of running in it. You can see that there is a lot of snow on Mom's patio in this photo of Elsie trying to decide where to pounce.
