A Look From Above Of My Current Location…

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort along the shore of Skagit Bay in LaConner, Washington. I’ve been here a number of times over the past years and always enjoy it here. It’s my favorite resort in the entire Thousand Trails system. My departure date is July 29th.

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.

Here’s a different way to look at things thanks to Google Earth. The pin marks my location…

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…

In this first view the large body of water coming in from the left and the Pacific Ocean is the  Strait de Juan DeFuca. Highway 1 is in Canada. The San Juan Islands are high center…

A little closer view. Anacortes is about 12 miles away and where you can get on the ferry to the San Juan Islands and to Canada. The green triangle below Anacortes is Mount Erie…

Closer again shows my location on Skagit Bay…

And still closer. The rectangular shape that looks like a very large raft is the Swinomiish Indian Salmon farming pens…

Finally a photo I took several years ago from Mount Erie of Fidalgo Island…five miles to the northwest. At 1,273 feet it’s the highest elevation in the area…

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Yesterday was a sunny day at 69 degrees. Forecast for today is sunny and 70 degrees. Perfect!

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!

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!
