Day 17, Ashford, WA to Vancouver, WA


Oops, we didn't make it to Astoria, Oregon. We left Ashford and headed toward Mt. St. Helens mostly via National Forest roads. The drive was through some very beautiful country. It was also over narrow twisting roads which necessitated slow driving. It was also mostly uphill. About 5 miles before our viewing area for Mt. St. Helens, Cindy noticed a familiar noise coming from the car. We stopped and checked. The coolant was essentially boiling. We let the car cool down some, added some water and decided to try to get to the Vancouver, WA, Portland, OR area. Meghan looked up Volkswagen dealers for us and found one in Vancouver, WA. We made it to Vancouver and plan to be at the dealer first thing tomorrow morning.

The dealership in Missoula needs to give you your money back. This is ridiculous. I never trust anything from Missoula.
