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!

Thousand Trails Oceana RV Resort – Ocean Shores, Washington

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 105 miles from Forks to Ocean Shores, Washington. The motorhome is now parked at Thousand Trails Oceana RV Resort on the coast of the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Shores, Washington where we are members. We will depart tomorrow.

The below Google Earth image shows the central western area of the Washington coast known as Grays Harbor. we will be in this general area for the next few days. Our current parking location is marked by the “TT” at the top. All the other indicators are markers I use to to help me find places in the area I’m currently visiting. For instance, on Thursday we will move to “TH” on the bottom of the image which is Twin Harbors State Park. Google Earth is a great assistance to me with my full-time RVing lifestyle.
