We boondocked with this van in the Bellingham Wal*Mart. It was festooned with sculptures of eagles. An older couple (like 80’s) were not shy about being noticed! Car after car drove up, rolled down their windows, and took a photo with cameras or phones. One woman left her car running in the middle of the busy lane and made a slow walk-around video. I hope they are going to Alaska too and we get to see them more. A hard rain drove us all in for the night and we didn’t get to speak with them. I somehow think we’ll see them again.
