I still have not get the antibody test yet. I just got the test to see if I currently had it prior to a possible trip to visit my mom in Woodinville. I figured it was best to make sure that I didn't have it before heading west.

Seattle store we were in and out of in maybe 5 minutes (which is record time at Costco).

Took a up to Big Bear mainly to just have a change of scenery but also to scope out one of the camp grounds we've never tried. Only one actually near the lake.
Touristy area was quite busy for a week day even though yeah its Summer, guess people not working & no school supports that.

Did note they had LIGHT BOARDS on the main roads that read > FACE COVERINGS REQUIRED, NO CONGREGATING
people mostly seemed to be wearing masks, Only got out to snap a of the lake no contact what so ever which I think is fine for us
just being there and smelling the fresh Mountain Air was a nice change
Gonna head back soon as I can snag a res to camp since Camping is easily done minus contact with others


RB I think you two could still rent a cabin for a few days but maybe you wouldn't like having to eat outside most the restaurants did have that option.

My youngest & Mrs did a conversion themselves on the older Toyota Van they had when they wanted to travel around to different States to see where they might like to live since SF was toooooo $$$$$
She found a very comfortable mattress that fit in and also converted into a sofa type seat so they were able to use it that way & work from their 's during the day. If you like I'd be happy to get info for ya

G, thanks, but we'd pretty much be looking for an air mattress: we'd need the "bed space" for storage during the day, then just a place to at night.
