Because we have 4,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.
I’m currently in my 21st year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here
Yesterday I drove the motorhome 45 miles from Shelton to Southworth, Washington. I’m parked in the yard of my friend Ned Bedinger. I’ll depart later this morning.
(Note: I’m currently a little discombobulated right now. My normal mode is to blog what I experienced yesterday. Right now, I’m several blogs behind my experiences. I expect to be back in my normal mode within a couple of weeks.)
Last Thursday I visited the uncompleted Satsop Nuclear Power Station at Elma, Washington.

Here are three photos I took of photos in his conference room…
In the below photo the plant buildings are: Cooling Tower #3, Reactor Containment Building #3, (Brown) Turbine Generator Building, Reactor Containment Building #5. Unseen in this photo to the far right is Cooling Tower #5…
This photo shows Cooling Tower #5 and my old office building. My office was on the second floor when I was the Quality Control Manager for the electrical contractor…
It felt somewhat eerie returning to a place where I worked 35 years ago. I found my stop here most interesting. Thanks again to Ross Read.
