There was nothing on the schedule yesterday so we decided to go to the Capital Mall in Olympia. I had been to Olympia many times as that was part of my territory in my career days, but Josie had never been there. The Mall is not actually in town, but just south of all the Capital buildings. Olympia is a nice town and the Mall was a nice one, as far as Malls go. I wanted to find a new pair of tennis shoes and was successful at the Foot Locker in the Mall.
We then stopped at the Costco that was in Tumwater - just south of Olympia - and did some shopping there for items that we usually get at a Costco. The day was pretty much taken by these excursions and we settled in at home for the rest of the day. We did see the local deer again in the campground while returning home:
(Notice the rare sun break)
We ran out of propane in one of our tanks so I had that refilled at the ranger station. Their price for propane was reasonable - $2.23 per gallon - so it wasn't a tough decision to make to have it filled here. With the 30 amp service at this campground, we have been using our propane more than we would like. Normally, we would only use our electric fireplace heater, but that seems to trip the circuit breaker when we concurrently use any other appliance. I think there is a problem with the circuit breaker at our site since we've never had this problem before with 30 amp service. We only have one more day at this location before we move to a campground in Puyallup tomorrow to be closer to Kristine for the weekend...
