Sunnyside Cemetery – Coupeville, 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.
I’m currently in my 21st 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’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 Fort Casey State Park on Whidbey Island for a four-day stay. The second day I took a ride in the Bronco to nearby Coupeville. Along the way I stopped at Sunnyside Cemetery.

 

Here are some of the photos that I took…

USS Turner Joy – Bremerton, 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.
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 17 miles from Fort Casey State Park to Oak Harbor, Washington. The motorhome is parked on Dock Street near the very friendly American Legion Post #129. They offered to let me park in the parking lot, but for a number I reasons I preferred parking here.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Bremerton, Washington. Among the things I saw there was the USS Turner Joy. I’ve been aboard several destroyers in my time and so I passed on the $14.00 admission fee.
