Well, the fastest speed limit on this island is 45 mph... and with all two-lane roads, the fast lane and the slow lane are the same lane.
A day off for both of us today. Joan had yesterday off and got a lot done around the coach. Today is laundry day...
Our Honda "beasts of burden" loaded up for the trip to the laundromat. In the marina the past three years, we could pull a roller cart up the ramp to the laundromat there. Again, one of the trade-offs for having more room (in the motorhome vs the boat) and a quiet setting (out of town).
Part of living in the RV is... living. Bills still have to be paid, laundry needs to be done, and someone has to walk the cat.
The wee beasties handled grocery hauling duty, too. They swallowed up $125 worth of groceries, with only one bag needing to be strapped to the seat (everything else went under the seats). Well, you have to consider "island prices" for groceries.
We topped off the fuel tanks, took the groceries home, took Iz for another walk, then set out for some scooter riding. This time, I got out the DSLR - much easier to shoot while riding. First shot: over the shoulder...
We stopped to get a "scooter tag" - Joan waited patiently while I got my shot...
Let's go enjoy some of the great roads on this island...
From heavily forested to open grasslands, the roads here are ideal for two wheels. Some of the side roads are narrow, with no centerline markings. Most are in good shape with a nice surface.
Plenty of curves...
One of my favorite road views is where this drops down a hill and opens up to a view of Haro Strait in the background...
Something different at every turn...
The scooter tag I mentioned earlier, an historical sign or marker...
American Camp - the site of the encampment where the Americans stayed during the Pig War (1859 to 1872). Thirteen years, one shot fired, and the only casualty was a pig.
