1300 miles, 21 hours. Nice drive.
Is that the ferry from Seattle to Victoria?

I love traveling abroad in my car! The rainy pic in my signature was taken just outside Montreal.

The Chelan is on the Anacortes, WA to Sidney, BC route. It's a beautiful cruise through the San Juan Islands.

Happy trails!

We made the run from Anacortes to Sidney, BC via Friday Harbor. It's a nice ferry run--a couple of hours.

However, once we arrived in Sidney all hell broke loose! The clutch pedal--you know, that third pedal? Well, it just didn't feel right anymore. Long story short--clutch failure in British Columbia. And then a failed new spark plug (since when does that happen anymore?) and a nursed run to Rocklin, California for new stuff.

Pictures in another thread, once I get them downloaded.
