Final Memories of Banff: On to Seattle

We left Banff on Saturday so we could get out of Canada before their holiday. We loved Banff and it makes me want to become Canadian.

We had a long travel day to Seattle. British Columbia was lush and beautiful, but Keith had to keep his eye on the road through many mountains. It was a beautiful day to travel. Again, around every corner was a new image of God's creation.

We arrive safely in Anacortes, Washington and happy to be back in the USA so we don't have to do so much math with the metric system. We had no trouble getting across the border, but had some shock at the gas prices: $4.45/gal. But, we figured out that we were paying over $5/gallon in Canada.

We are staying in Deception Pass State Park with Seattle being about 1 hour drive. It is a great campsite, but the bathrooms are pretty crude. I told Keith that I felt like I was at Apollo Campgrounds. [Mom and Marcia will understand what I mean].

Below is a video of Keith's kayaking a few days ago while Linda was in town (doing work at the library). He had a great time without me!
