Today was cook duty day for Necla and I. After breakfast I took over driving the truck and after Lunch Necla joined me to go grocery shopping in Shelton. Cook team is a lot of work but it is only every fifth day and the other campers are very appreciative.

21HoodCanalDosewallips was a very nice place to stay. Quite secluded and very quite. We hit a bit of fog first thing in the morning that made it a bit cool, but that cleared off by coffee. From Dosewallips we headed south paralleling the Hood canal. We stopped for coffee after about 30k alongside the Hood and finished up the last of our great Valerie cookies.

The Shelton State Park is a wonderful area as well. We have the group site all to ourselves. I could easily handle a group ten times our size. Necla did a very nice job with dinner and I did my best. And with enough wine and beer the troops seemed appreciate the meal.
