A SHORT "FALL" TRIP

I guess it is not officially winter until December 21st but it sure feels like it. We needed to get the coach out and put a few miles on it. Not good for these things to just sit. We decided to head up to our local home campground which is north of Bellingham,near the Canadian border.

The sun has been shining the whole time but night time temps have been in the upper 20's. Daytime temps depend on if you are standing in the sun or not. The last couple of days had high wind advisories. We got hit by some wind gusts coming up here that were significant enough for me to have to slow down to 45 - 50 mph on the freeway to keep control of the coach.

With temps in the mid 30's and wind gusts also in the 30's the wind chill factor gets down to around ZERO. Like I said that sure "feels" like winter.
