Can anyone recommend a hotel/motel in the area where I will be able to get some shut eye without fear of getting my truck jacked?
Also, I have a couple rebuilt really nice SM420 transmission that I can bring up too if anyone is in need.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I've never stayed there since I live in Langley. Any of the newer Motel/Hotel have a common parking lot and a main lobby and interior. hallways. http://www.westwardinnandsuites.com/ | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,518 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,518 | Thank you Sir, will definitely look into it.

It has turn signals and seat belts licensed in Washington State and insurance on it. I know I will need passport. Can you think of anything else Bc'ers?

Thanks for the reply. We deserve the bad rap, the socialist republic of Washington that is.
