Sep 7 2017 - Bellingham WA to Chilliwack,BC Canada

Today's destination is Chilliwack in British Columbia.  That is Canada in case you didn't know.
We need to be at the Escape Travel Trailer factory to pick up our new home.  A friend is getting a shiny new Escape and we are taking his old (2002) Bigfoot  Trailer.  To make sure there are no border hassles for his appointment we are going over today.
Clare has a reason too - there is a massive British store in Chilliwack and she has been dreaming of Scotch eggs for weeks.  And as luck would have it they get their Scotch Egg order in every Thursday.  So we asked in the in-store Bakery for Scotch Eggs - none!  They hadn't ordered any this week as the kids were back in school.  Say WHAT?    Oh well.  Just to wind them up even more we ordered Scotch Eggs at cafe.  Naturally we ended up with 1 ploughmans and 1 Shepherds pie, but we tried.



How big is this place?   over 10,000 square feet of British nonsense.  Great fun


Then its off to look around Cultus Lake...









and finally a walk along the Chilliwack river to get up an appetite for supper

Its a wasp nest


Tomorrow - the first day of the rest of our lives.
