Yesterday I drove153 miles from Woodburn to Winston, Oregon. I’ll depart here later this morning.

I arrived at VFW Post #9745 in Winston, Oregon. I’ve stayed here a few times in the past where I have an electrical hookup…

Nicolaus To Anderson, California…

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 127 miles from Nicolaus to Anderson, California.

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…

Most of yesterday’s travel was on U.S. Highway 99 which passes through miles of fruit orchards…much better than the alternate of Interstate Highway 5…

Approaching Anderson I spotted Mount Shasta 65 miles away. I grabbed my camera and manged to get this neat shot even though I was driving…

Arriving at Anderson, California I parked at the rear of very friendly VFW Post#9650 for the night. I’ve been stopping here for several years. They even provided me with a 30 amp electrical hookup so I could run my air conditioner to deal with the 93 degree temperature. Many thanks for another enjoyable stay…

And here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Outside it was 93 in the shade and 99.5 in the sun. It was a comfortable 78 degrees inside the motorhome thanks to my a/c.

I’ll depart later this morning.

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

I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Forecast for today is mostly sunny and 89 degrees.

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails Lake Minden RV Resort in Nicolaus, California. I’m scheduled to depart here May 9th.

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

This entry was posted September 20, 2013…

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 47 miles from Newport to Airway Heights, Washington.

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

The traffic continued light along Highway 2.

Along the way we stopped in Spokane, Washington where Mary did some serious food shopping at her favorite grocery store, Winco Foods. In addition, I stopped at the Department of Licensing and renewed my Washington State Drivers License for another five years.

We spent the night behind VFW Post #3386 in Airway Heights, Washington…

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

Did you know that today is POW-MIA Recognition Day?

More than 83,000 American service members remain unaccounted for after serving in World War II, the Korea War, the Cold War, the Vietnam War and the Gulf War. If you love your freedom, thank a Vet!

Yesterday was a sunny day. High temperature for the day was 71 degrees.

Forecast high temperature for today is 80 degrees and sunny.

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

Enjoying friendly VFW Posts is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
