Back in The USA

We made it back to the USA.  The trip started off great, although some of the mountains were a little scary as you travel down the hills.  Some of them were pretty steep and with the camper on the back of the truck you always worry that the brakes won't be able to slow you down.  We had a real easy time getting through the USA customs.  There was a long line in front of us, but then we spotted a sign that indicated that on Saturday's campers could go in the truck line.  There was only one truck ahead of us.  When we got to the gate the customs officer only asked us a few basic questions, then he waived us through.  We did run into some issues when we got closer to the campground.  As we were traveling down the road we saw a bunch of flashing red lights.  A fireman approached us and said that the road was closed and recommended an alternate route.  I backed the camper up in the middle of the road (not an easy task for me) and we turned around and went the alternate route.  About one mile into the alternate route, there was more flashing lights.  There was another accident and the road was closed.  The road was too narrow for me to turn around, so we just sat there for awhile till they finally opened the road.  As we got closer to the campground there was a detour due to a bridge being out.  That really confused us.  After a several hour delay, we finally made it to the campground.  After setting up the camper we took a short ride to the west till we hit water.  The beach we were at was right across from a group of islands, including the San Juan islands.
