The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in Palm Desert, California. I’m scheduled to depart here March 26th.

 

 

This is the fourth video which I guess is becoming a series about how politicians are destroying our beautiful country.

 

In this case politicians who advocate open borders which allow what will become millions of undocumented aliens into our country can only have disastrous results to our beautiful country…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Despite the daunting message…

 

I hope you enjoyed the video.

Forecast for today is sunny and 85 degrees.

 

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

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 27th.

 

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 was parked at Thousand Trails in Bow, Washington. While there I visited the quaint near-by city of Sedro-Wooley. Its claim to fame is that it is the only place in the whole world with that name. It also has a really neat historical museum.

 

 

Here are some of the photos that I took…

Lewis County Historical Museum – Chehalis, Washington

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in Chehalis, Washington. I’ve been here several times in the past. I’ll leave here tomorrow.

I’m expecting to arrive at Mary’s home in central California, October 15th and depart November 30th. While there, I’ll do routine maintenance, minor repairs and major cleaning of the Bronco and motorhome.

Today’s Subject…Lewis County Historical Museum…

Yesterday I drove the Bronco the 10 miles to Chehalis and spent an enjoyable 1.5 hours at this nice museum.

I really like local museums…in so many ways they are similar…yet different.
If you are in the Chehalis area I highly recommend this museum to you.

I especially enjoy the old black and white photos of days gone by…never to return.

Here are a few of the photos I took there…
