My new 'ARMCHAIR TRAVELS' segment...
Posted On: 06/04/2015 12:19:13

I'm finally here... after another wonderful road trip. When we arrived home on Tuesday, we had no telephone landline service and no Internet. Ugh! Hubby had the name of subcontractor with the phone company who had been doing work out here, so contacted him to find out what happened to our "high-speed" service. He couldn't understand what happened because he installed a new piece of cable by our house a week ago and all was working well. He couldn't come out to check until Wednesday morning, but would be there at 9 a.m.  Wednesday morning, Ed went to find the guy, and sure enough he was there ... and with a 'weird' story for Ed. Because he couldn't book a trencher for a month to bury the new cable, he strung the new cable on top of the ground between two pedistles. He discovered that some animal (probably a gopher or mole) had chewed through the cable and disconnected our service again. Yikes! The joys of country living!

It's now working well, and I have my Armchair Travels segment up and running. I have also posted this in a Bulletin for my friends to see it. I've received numerous messages from friends, reminding me that I had promised to post pictures when we got home. Here they are...

I haven't yet had time to catch up on other blogs, but now that I have the "service", I'll be back.

 ...journey to Bangor. 

Your Armchair Travels piece took me back. The Cascades never failed to take my breath away, after being so used to the flatness of the San Diego coastline.

I'm glad you enjoyed the "journey". I know exactly where Bangor is; we drive past it on our way to Silverdale to shop. Our son-in-law has started a new job in Silverdale, so after almost 20 years, he will no longer need to ride the ferry to work.

We didn't see much of the Cascades on this trip but I agree with you about the beauty of them. We never tire of the Rockies either, even though we can see them in the distance from our home.

Visiting the ocean is a treat for us; the wonder of so much water in one view!

Thank you for the tour. I love the scenery of Washington. I used to travel to Bangor Washington to work on a Navy submarine base after flying into SeaTac from San Diego. Our travel group would always rent a couple cars and take the ferry across to Bainbridge Island, drive up to the northern tip and cross back over to the mainland to continue our journey to Bangor.
