We left the campground around 7:45 am this morning although there was really no rush. We are just so used to getting on the road early. We were only about 51 miles from Canada so a little over one hour later, we crossed the border at Sumas. There was only one car ahead of us and it didn't take long. Just a couple of questions and we were on our way. About 5 minutes later we made a second stop for coffee and a bagel when we came across a Tim Hortons. We checked in to the Cottonwood Meadows RV Park in Chilliwack for one night. There are a lot of large trees in this campground and we weren't sure that our dish would find the satellite. Plus I don't like campgrounds that look like you're in a forest. Trees means too many bugs for me. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of choices close to Chilliwack. So after a bit of discussion with the office, we chose a site that would be available for the month (except that we have to move to another site for the last 3 nights as this site is reserved already). We are only about 5 minutes from Adam's house and 2 minutes from the nearest Tim Hortons. Plus there is a trail about 5 kilometres from here and we can ride our bicycle to it.
I took this picture just as we were going to exit the Trans Canada highway. It was very hazy and it made the mountains look like shadows.
Adam and Leah have invited us over for dinner tonight. It will sure be great to see them again. The last time we were here was April 2007 so we can't wait to see how our little grandson David has grown. He is 2 1/2 years old; the same age as our grandson Liam in Ottawa.
