Breakfast at Wolf Creek Inn was terrific. Thanks to Steve Diverde for suggesting it. We even got to see a photo of his old gang from the commune there in 1973. The Veggie and Western Omlettes were scrumptious.
Two hours ago, headed north on Highway 5 in Oregon and listening to CBC (Canada) on the radio, I asked Pat "Did we bring the passports?"
Moderate panic and consternation followed.
Deciding whether to continue driving north or turn around - was not easy. Twelve hundred miles of extra driving is not something you want to do if you can avoid it. Could we get across the border without our passports? Do they let you across with just a California DMV license? Could we get ahold of Steve Diverde at our house, and get him to send us our passports to a location two days north of us at the border?
We decided to stop and find a place for the night where we could explore our options. Clear, powerful wifi, and the possibility of multiple nights were the priority. We found a big, established RV park outside of Portland. Once there, we researched UPS Next day air service. We called (on Google Hangout) Steve, and organized a longer discussion for tomorrow morning.
Now relaxed, with a decent plan, we're heading north tomorrow for Bellingham, Washington, where we'll explore the Puget Sound and wait for the UPS package.
A little bit of chaos can be fun if it gets resolved well.

We used Bellingham as our jumping off spot for the Alaska Maarine Highway jaunt to SE Alaska. If you haven't made this ferry trip, it is worth considering (sans Airstream, but you can tent camp on the sun decks). On our road trip to BC we found the state tourist info spots really healpful. Great country. Again, we are envious. Happy trails. David and Margaret
