Port Arthur, Texas Day 1 (GA385)

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 5,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

I’m currently in my 23rd year of full-time RVing and my lifestyle is changing, For more info click Here

---

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Thunderbird RV Resort in Monroe, Washington. I’ll depart here tomorrow.

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

 

In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

 

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

 

 

 

This entry was posted February 1, 2013…

 

 

Yesterday we drove the motorhome the about 100 miles from La Marque to Port Arthur, Texas.

 

 

During our travels yesterday we had a twenty-minute ride on the ferry from Galveston Island to Bolivar Island then continued directly along the Gulf of Mexico almost all the way to Port Arthur.

 

 

The below Google Earth image shows the area. V is the VFW Post where we had been parked for four days and A shows our current location at the American Legion…

The folks at American Post #7 are VERY FRIENDLY! We expect to depart here on Monday.

 

 

Enjoying occasional ferry rides is another joy of the full-time RVing life style!

Harlingen, Texas Day 18 (GA359)

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in Chehalis, Washington. I expect to depart here June 4th.

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

 

In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure.

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

 

 

 

 

This entry was posted January 6, 2013…

 

 

 

 

The motorhome is parked at Tropic Winds RV Resort and is scheduled to be here until January 10th.

 

 

Yesterday Mary and I took the Bronco for a tour of the Rio Grande Valley since she has never been here before. By time we got back to the motorhome we had covered 160 miles.

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

Along the way we saw lots of fertile soil with green stuff growing…

 

 

 

 

 

and grapefruit trees…

 

 

 

 

 

First stop was at the old Hildago Pump Station that was used for many years to pump water from the Rio Grande River to irrigate the growing fields. It operated from 1909 to 1983. The station was closed on a Saturday so we didn’t get to take the tour. You can read about it by clicking this link…

Also at the site was a World Birding Center which you can read about by clicking this link…
http://www.theworldbirdingcenter.com/Hidalgo.html

 

 

 

 

 

It was so cold we didn’t try to catch a photo of the many birds we could hear but we got these nice flower photos…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Being right on the Rio Grande River, the Border Patrol was to be seen everywhere…

 

 

 

 

 

A few more miles down the road we stopped at the La Lomita Chapel which was also closed on a Saturday. You can read about it by clicking this link…
http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/tx/tx15.htm

 

 

 

 

 

About one mile down the road is the remnants of an old mission on the grounds of a now Catholic Academy. Of course the gates were locked…

 

 

 

 

 

By then it was time for lunch. We stopped at the small El Rodeo Restaurant. I had the Chalupa plate…

 

 

 

 

 

Mary had the enchilada plate…

 

 

 

 

 

A couple of strolling musicians stopped by to sing a few songs for tips…

 

 

 

 

 

Then onto the only hand-pulled ferry left remaining on the Rio Grande River. I was here in 1997 when all there was the ferry at the end of a narrow road with a small Border Patrol Station. Here’s a photo I took in 1997…

 

 

 

 

 

Because of 9/11, there is now a huge Border Patrol Station. Everything was shut down because of high fast-flowing water on the river so the ferry was not operating. We walked alongside the chain link fence to get down to the river. It has an interesting history and you can read about the ferry by clicking this link…

Final stop of the day was at the only Costco in the Rio Grande Valley for some groceries.

 

 

Enjoying the many attractions of an area is another joy of the full-time RVing lifestyle!

Port Townsend Via Ferry To Fort Casey State Park – Washington

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Thunderbird RV Resort in Monroe, Washington. I’ve been here many times before. I’ll depart here September 20th.

 

I’ll be hanging out in this general area until about the beginning of October, taking maximum advantage of my Thousand Trails membership and very agreeable weather.

 

(Note: I’m currently a little discombobulated right now. My normal mode is to blog what I experienced yesterday. Right now, I’m a number of blogs behind my experiences. I expect to be back in my normal mode in about three weeks.)

 

 

 

Today’s subject…

 

 

About one month ago I visited the pretty and quaint  City of Port Townsend, Washington. After completing my visit, I put the motorhome and Bronco on the ferry for the 30 minute, five-mile crossing to Whidbey Island and a four-day stay at Fort Casey State Park.

 

 

Here are some of the photos that I took…

Orcas Island – Washington

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in La Connor, Washington. I’ll depart here August 30th. I’ve been here a number of times in past years.

 

I’ll be hanging out in this general area until about the beginning of October, taking maximum advantage of my Thousand Trails membership and very agreeable weather.

 

This area of Washington has always been one of my very favorite locations in all of the United States. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, the air is fresh and clean, it seldom gets too hot or cold, there are virtually no bugs or mosquitos and the people are very friendly. I’ve been coming here for years and know the area very well. It’s my very favorite place to go to during the Summer…that’s why I keep returning.

 

 

Yesterday’s blog posting was about the San Juan Islands.

One of the most enjoyable things to do in this area is take a day trip on the Washington State Ferry System and wander among the San Juan Islands, just west of Fidalgo Island and Anacortes.

 

In 2011, Mary and I took the Bronco on a day trip to Orcas Island.

Here are some photos I took of the Orcas Island during that day trip…

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

First a Google earth image of the San Juan Islands (right center). My campground location is shown as TT. To the West (left) of the San Juan Islands is Canada. Orcas Island is directly to the left of the words Lummi Island…

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 4 miles from the Jefferson County Fairground Campground to Fort Casey State Park at Coupeville, Washington. Along the way I took a 5 mile, 30 minute ferry ride as part of the trip. The last time I remember the motorhome being on a ferry was in March, 2010 while crossing the Mississippi River.

 

I’ll depart here Wednesday.

 

(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 month.)

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

The below Google earth shows yesterday’s travel location. The “F” is the fairground location where I started my day…

 

 

 

 

The day started with the sun trying to break through the fog over the water…

 

 

 

 

I was about one hour early, so I parked along the waterfront and enjoyed the views while I waited…

 

 

 

 

The ferry before the one I had a reservation on arrives…

 

 

 

 

In the mean while…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ferry before mine departs…

 

 

 

 

I proceeded to the toll booth and paid my $70.40 fare. I was given this tag to put in my windshield once I shut off my propane tank…

 

 

 

 

My ferry arrives…

 

 

 

 

The ferry handles the largest of vehicles…

 

 

 

 

I was the first vehicle to board the ferry, hence I ended up with a great seat to view the crossing…

 

 

 

 

Here we go…

 

 

 

 

About half way across, I got bombed by a seagull. I had time to clean it before we arrived…

 

 

 

 

On a hazy morning, I got a glimpse of Mount Baker about 60 miles distant…

 

 

 

 

Approaching the landing, I got a view of the campground where I’ll spend the next two nights…

 

 

 

 

The breakwater is on the right of the docking area…

 

 

 

 

All most there…

 

 

 

 

Nearer now…

 

 

 

 

The frothing water comes from the backing engine to slow our forward progress…

 

 

 

 

Entering Fort Casey State Park…

 

 

 

 

On the way to my campsite I got a view of the ferry on which I had just arrived…

 

 

 

 

At my campsite, the view out of the windshield…

 

 

 

 

My camping site…

 

 

 

 

And the usual dinette window view…

 

 

 

Later in the morning, I tromped all over Fort Casey and took a bunch of photos which I’ll show in future blog postings.

 

 

 

Bonus Photo: Last evening about one hour before sunset, I climbed the hill into Fort Casey to view the sunset. Here’s a teaser photo, you’ll see the rest of the photos in a blog posting about one month from now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

 

 

 

 

YIKES!!!! The forecast for Mary’s location in California for the next four days is 105+ degrees! It’s why I am where I am!!!!

 

Yesterday was sunny and 72 degrees. Forecast for today is sunny and 70 degrees.

A One Night Visit With The Bedingers – Southworth, Washington

Mary is no longer available for RV traveling, but we remain good friends.
Because we have 4,000+ postings, I’ve invited her to continue posting entries on this blog.

The motorhome is parked at Fort Townsend State Park in Port Townsend, Washington. I’ll be departing from here this coming Sunday.

 

(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.)

 

A week ago Sunday I enjoyed a one night visit with the Bedingers in Southworth, Washington. Who are the Bedingers, you ask? The are the family that bought my famous motorhome in which I made my 2004 Mexico/Central America trip. They bought the motorhome in 2009 with the admonition…if you are ever in our area, give us a call and stop by. That’s just what I did.

Back on this past June 16th, I unexpectedly came across Ned with his new motorhome at Ocean Shores, Washington. You can read about that encounter and about the ultimate fate of the motorhome they bought from me in 2009, by clicking this link…

http://wp.me/pDCku-dLT

 

Here are some of the photos that I took…

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

I parked my motorhome and Bronco in the driveway. A Peek-A-Boo through the trees gives only a small hint of what awaits…

 

 

 

 

 

Perched atop a hill crest, their home affords a dynamic view of Puget Sound…

 

 

 

 

Directly above the ferry landing at Southworth. Uninhabited Blake Island is prominent in the background…

 

 

 

 

The view continues from inside their home…

 

 

 

 

Jane, Ned and Miles Bedinger are great hosts…

 

 

 

 

Ned and Miles love to cook. I was treated to a great baked salmon, broccoli, corn and yogurt fruit salad meal…

 

 

 

 

Also visible from their home is the Seattle Space Needle which Google earth puts at 10.15 miles…

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!
