Birds we saw from the boat

 Moving target.  Moving boat.  Not very good pictures, but we can tell what they are.  Tufted Puffins.  Well, it was easier to tell with binoculars. Pigeon guillemots. Rhinoceros auklets. Got a lot of them.    Common murre.

Port Ludlow

 This is a nice campground in the forest.  Warm weather.  Calm.  Cools off in the evening for a campfire. And a short walk from our campsite:

We made it

 We’re out of the Salem Dome.  After an 18 day layover, the rig is running fine.  We ran 280 miles to Port Ludlow, got set up, and drove the car another 20 miles to Port Townsend in time to catch the Puffin Tour boat. The Port Ludlow RV Park.  The Redhead. The Grayheads. …and we saw tufted puffins. A good day. 2015 summer trip map

Fifth-wheel trailers

 This is what they usually look like.  Leaf spring suspension.  High off the ground. But we saw this one and it looks completely different. It looks like we do with our air suspension emptied when we’re parked.  Low down to the ground.  Too low for ride-height. It’s not possible that it has air suspension is it?  A fifth-wheel trailer wouldn’t have an air compressor on board to pump it back up when it’s time to tow.  Or does it stay like that as a low-rider bumping down the highway when it’s being towed?
