Day 93 – Camping

I’m flying into Vancouver b/c I’m doing something a little different for this leg of the trip. I’m going camping w/a friend of mine who lives in Vancouver. My friend picked me up at the airport w/the camping gear already packed so we could go straight from the airport to our campsite. We were staying at Deception Pass State Park. The campground is north of SEA and right on the coast. Once we found our site and got our tent set up we headed into SEA. It ended up taking us about 2 hrs to get from campground to ballpark. As we were navigating our way to Safeco Field we kind of lucked out finding some street parking near the ballpark that was free.

I have been to SEA to see baseball on 2 prior occasions, but both were at the Kingdome. In fact the last time I was there they were just building Safeco Field. The one thing I don’t remember is so many Jays fans coming down to see the games. I wouldn’t be surprised if 1/3 of the attendance was Canadian. The stadium itself was pretty nice, certainly fits in w/all the other new ballparks of this era.

After the game we wandered around looking for a place to eat but there wasn’t much of interest so we just headed back to the campsite and stopped to eat along the way.
