Our First Camp
We pulled into Mora Campground around 2:30 and picked a pull-through site with lots of privacy. The process of setting up went very well; it’s actually quite a bit easier and quicker than the Chalet was. We spent the afternoon walking on the beach at the town of La Push 5 miles away. The air temp was 67 degrees, 15 degrees cooler than further inland. However, to our surprise the sun was actually out on the Washington coast, which is almost unheard of! We had a nice dinner then sat by the fire reading books and having a glass of wine, then retired to bed. Happy to report that we slept well in our new bed. This morning we went for a run, then came back and SHOWERED in our own bathroom, about which Cathryn is ecstatic! It’s only been 24 hours, but it feels like we’ve accomplished our goals in terms of our new accommodations. For those of you who suffered through all the Baja posts we made regarding the “mechanics of life”, we may be able to move on to other topics; we’ll sure try. But the three things that led us to sell the Chalet and move to the Artic Fox (a bathroom, a bed that is easier to get into and out of – especially for Cathryn who had to climb over Bob in the middle of the night at times – and a bed that is easy to make without having to completely re-make it daily) have clearly been completely satisfied with the Fox.
