Our 20th Wedding Anniversary

An interesting 20th wedding anniversary celebration....we had planned to leave for a week of camping last Saturday, but it was pouring rain all day. On Sunday, we got ready to pack the camper and discovered it was gray-green with mold throughout. Chuck emptied every nook and cranny & I spent 2 days scrubbing every accessible surface with a 10% bleach solution & washing every washable item (not the way we had envisaged our anniversary!).We headed out to Campbell River on Tuesday and had a lovely time camping in the back country. However, the weather deteriorated until it felt like snow, and we headed home on Friday morning. As we headed over the top of the massive Strathcona dam, a construction worker waved us over to show us a huge blister on the inside of our right front tire. After a challenging tire change on top of the dam, we ended up spending $1000 on new tires in Campbell River enroute to Port Alberni.....we were very glad just to be safely home.
