We were in Victoria today. We’re held hostage by our import broker that can’t seem to get us the ACE Manifest we need to license the trailer in Minnesota. We’ve been promised tomorrow, but I’ll believe it when it happens.

We’ve already enjoyed the treat of going through Seattle north to the border. It would be nice to go to Port Angeles, but that border crossing doesn’t accept an ACE Manifest so will be going down to Seattle to get to Portland, since we’re importing the 25RQ into the US.

Enjoy,

Perry

I live in Victoria, right beside Sidney, BC on Vancouver Island and suggest you take the Coho ferry from our downtown terminal to Port Angeles, Washington. This gets you right on the 101 directly and you skirt Seattle by going down the west side of Hood Canal - but I expect you may know all this.

Safe travels! (I'm envious)

FYI......just South of Bandon, Oregon on HWY 101 they had a massive road drop......apparently in some places the road dropped 12 ft.....there are no detours around the slide.....as of yesterday.....they did not know when 101 would be back open. The pictures do not look good.......a work around is gonna be an issue.

Those folks do a really great job keeping the roads open.....apparently the ground is still moving and more weather is expected......be careful if travelling in that area.
