Day 1 - Getting out of the Tundra

We pulled out of the driveway at 1:56 PM - quite a bit later than planned due to last minute prep - and got above the clouds on the sunny Coquihalla Connector. The roads had lots of icy patches and it was -22 outside from Merritt to Hope, but at least it was clear skies.

Used our fancy new Nexus cards to pass into the US at Sumas with ease, got onto the I5 at 7 PM and then to our stop for the night just north of Seattle at Tulalip Casino. This place has a special parking lot just for RV overnights - free! Though it's still below freezing...thank heaven for our furnace. And Andrew's already helped out a fellow traveller who was worried about his LPG warning light flashing - LOL!
