The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Oceana RV Resort in Ocean City, Washington. I’ll be here until July 2nd.

 

Two days ago I drove the Bronco about 20 miles north of my current location to Taholah, Washington, the capital of the Quinault Indian Nation.

 

Here are three links that will help you to know more about them…

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…

Located at the end of Washington Highway 109 it’s quite remote on the coast…not an easy place to get to…

The first indication that I had crossed on to the reservation was this sign…

Where I had stopped at a bridge to take the next two photos…

A few miles later I was in Taholah. With a population of only about 800, there is little to see and do. Here’s a small Veterans Park…

And a small Memorial Park…

Here’s the center of town…

The small museum was closed….

My visit there was short. Because the population is so small and everyone must know everyone, I stuck out like a sore thumb. The people just stared at me like I was an alien and no one spoke to me. I gave me an eerie feeling…not very welcoming. Because it is somewhat remote, I suppose they see few tourists. In all my travels it was a most unusual feeling!

I hope you enjoyed the photos!

 Yesterday was sunny and 67 degrees. Forecast for today is sunny and 69 degrees.

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

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…

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!
