Yawn.......This Retirement is Rough

Wow!  Those trains were loud all night long.
We met a couple from San Diego last night.  They invited us to camp in their yard and offered us San Diego Zoo passes.  How nice!
Today was a long day for Dave & Cleo.  Lots of construction, and I think Cleo is fed up with spending hours in the truck each day.
Our destination today was the Coquihalla Campground in Hope, BC.  Beautiful!  Thanks for the recommendation, Jay.  We can hear the train whistle, but it's not too close.
Dave's tips for RV travel:
1.  From a "full-timer" for 8 years that we met in Bird's Hill Park:  Don't buy too small of a trailer because you will be living in it and you'll get cabin fever.  He had a 36ft. Cameo.  He also said to go to the factory & see the trailer you are interested in, being built.
2.  From a fellow camper in Medicine Hat:  You don't want a trailer with 3 wheels, they are hard to turn.  Get a Passport America membership if you are travelling in the States.  You save 50% on camp fees at some parks.
3.  From the internet: Mix 1/2 cup laundry detergent with one gallon warm water.  Pour into toilet before travelling.  It will help flush out your black water tank.
4.  Last, but most important:  CHECK FOR TRAIN TRACKS BEFORE BOOKING YOUR CAMPSITE.

 Are we there yet?






 I can't bear to look anymore.
