Had dinner with Doug and Bernie, our good friends from the 5 years we spent in Tucson, Bob's last years with the postal service before retiring in 1992. Bob headed the Southwestern Division of the Motor Vehicle Division and Doug was head of Personnel. Now Doug is retired and they have a large RV they call Thor. It's in for repair now because Doug tore off a fender making a turn Bernie told him he shouldn't. Those two are just as much fun as ever. We went for Thai food and it was just like old times when we saw them at least once a week to go out to dinner. Except little Timmie is in med school now and Bob was with us only in spirit.
Stayed at 99 RV Park in Vancouver which has the amenity of having a Verizon store next door where I went for phone help. All the RV parks have wi fi but some of their signals are so weak that your phone can't connect but it keeps trying and blocks your emails. So at that point you may as well turn off the wi fi to read emails and then turn wi fi back on to save data. Travel is so easy now and so irritating when some things don't work as they should. I use Google in my phone to get distance between cities to stick to my 230 plan of driving no more than 230 miles or no later than 2:30 in the afternoon. Then I use the RV Parky app in my phone to find an RV park w/in those 230 miles. It all works great when it works.
Lesson learned:
Hook up to wi fi but if you can't read your emails or use some apps take off wi fi or go to a Starbucks
