No, I'm about 50 miles outside Seattle at a rest area for the night. The Flying J was a real pit and didn't want to park there. I ate at a steak house right next door and it was great. I'll get up early tomorrow morning and make the border crossing around 2am their time. It will be 5am my time. After I drop off I need to find a truck wash and go through it like 3 times!!!

Good luck finding a truck wash in those parts.

Made it across the border and through the scales with no problems. Got to use my first PAPS or PARS sticker, can't remember which one. The border patrol have all been real nice to me. I can't get use to driving on the left though. Everyone coming the other way needs to move over a lot more!! Damn Canadian drivers!!

The "Pink Elephant" in Tacoma WA is only one I know of. Take the SR512 exit, keep right, travel north on S. Tacoma Way about 1 mile..on the right. Open 8am to 5pm monday through friday. Sometimes on saturday.
Or Gordon Trucking in Pacific, off of SR167....you will see them on the left as you travel south on 167...Ninth ST is the exit I believe. No numbers on the exits of 167 when I left up there. Exit 167..left under the freeway..left at the freightliner dealership. Go into the service/parts of freighliner to get set up for a wash.

I'm not that concerned with a wash too much. It's raining now anyways. I have a feeling I'll be heading past Jubitz with my next load so I can get a wash then.

You anywhere near me Stan? I'm at the new bridge on 201 on the side of the road if your in the area. Oh wait, I'm in Kanada.

Thanks for the wash tips. I've been all over that area and have never seen any...I'll certainly be writing those down.
