We did get away from Abbotsford at 3:03. We were aiming at four o’clock so we didn’t do too badly. To our shock and surprise there was no one in line ahead of us. We got right through BUT they made us go for an agriculture check. We declared that we had no fruit or vegetables on board and it was a good thing that we were telling the truth. Because they searched, if they had found anything we would have been fined 300.00. They checked the trailer for food and checked the truck for fire wood. We picked up our mail, the box was stuffed because it had been so long since were had picked it up. Soon we were underway again. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. The air was so clear and the mountains that still had snow sparkled brightly and were so beautiful. The traffic was heavy and steady but there were no tie ups. State patrol was everywhere. When we arrived at the Outlet mall there was no way we could have parked . Thousands of shoppers had the lot full as well as the overflow and the grass along the side of the road on the back was also being put to use. We proceeded on to Tulalip Casino and after circling twice we settle on a place on the gravel lot at the very back. That is where I am right now. We will spend the night here and then leave early in the morning. We want to get around Seattle before the traffic there gets nuts.
