Bellingham RV Park Bellingham, Washington USA

Mileage:  49,701

We left Lynden this morning and traveled through farming country to get to the “big city” of Bellingham.

We dropped the Jeep off at Rairdon Jeep and took the RV to the Bellingham RV Park in town to wait for the diagnosis and plan.

We took our bikes out to ride.  I decided to follow the signs that said fresh salmon ahead.

It was  a nice ride along the Bellingham Bay.

This guy was selling salmon in his backyard.   We was selling the salmon he caught yesterday…whole…oh…

He agreed to gut it and filet it for me for a fee of $2.00…totally worth it!

When I got back to the RV Tim had already talked to the Jeep dealer.  They problem was with the tensioner and the part had to be ordered.  They could get it Monday.  In the meantime, they would pay for us to have a rental car and everything would be covered by the warranty.  Enterprise came to deliver our car.  A Chrysler 300.  It reminds me of the car my grandfather always drove.  It is nice and comfy and new and free and we don’t have to be stuck at the campground all weekend!

We took it for a scenic ride on Chuckanut Drive.

We headed into downtown Bellingham for dinner.  We heard there was live music at the Boundary Bay Brewery and Bistro.  We shared appetizers and then went outside to listen to Ebb Shack and Flood.  This is a band that did not fit neatly into any particular genre but I would say they were a mix of funk, reggae, and jazz.
