The Skykomish River At Sultan, Washington

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Thunderbird RV Resort along the bank of the Skykomish River in Monroe, Washington. I’ve been here a number of times over the past years and always enjoy it here. I’ll leave here tomorrow.

Mary is at home tending to personal matters…home maintenance, family, friends, rentals, etc..  She has made her flight reservations to meet me July 29th in Bellingham, Washington.

Yesterday I drove the Bronco the eight miles to the Eagles Club at Sultan Washington for a late morning breakfast. Returning to the motorhome a little after noon I crossed the Skykomish River on the bridge at Mann Road. I stopped to take a few photos. Because noon on a bright sunny day can cause photos to have a flat look, I shot them in the watercolor mode…

Looking east towards the Cascade mountains…

Looking west downstream..

Just south of the bridge on the right side of the road I saw this memorial marker for Pamela Jean Ross, a 38-year-old woman who was killed by a hit and run driver in 2009. A sad way to leave our planet…

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Yesterday was a sunny day at 83 degrees. Forecast for today is sunny and 81 degrees.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!

Monroe, Washington – Day 1

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 90 miles from Leavenworth to Monroe, Washington.

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

Here are some of the photos that I took along the way…

Shortly after starting our day on the road we saw snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Mountains…

After crossing Stevens Pass at 4,111 feet of elevation we ran into some fog on our decent…

We arrived at our destination of Thousand Trails Thunderbird RV Resort on the Ben Howard Road in Monroe. Our campsite is to the right of this stand of tall trees along the banks of the Snohomish River…

We are at the end where it’s nice and quiet…

Here’s the view from the motorhome door and my bedroom window…

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Shortly after our arrival, my good friend for 62 years, Al Penta who lives about one mile away, stopped by for a visit. We spent an enjoyable two hours catching up on the happenings of the last two years since we were last here…

Mary has pressing business awaiting at her home in California. Tomorrow I’ll drive her in the Bronco to SeaTac Airport where she’ll catch a fight home. After dropping her off, I’ll go to the Seattle VA Hospital for an eye exam and my annual physical…which I missed last year. I’ll remain here for a few more days having some work done on the Bronco and hopefully the motorhome by my friend and mechanic, Kenny. Once the work is completed, I’ll head for Mary’s home in California.

Yesterday was a cloudy and cold day with some showers. High temperature for the day was 57.

Forecast high temperature for today is 61 degrees and sunny with a shower.
