Crescent Bar to Tulalip Casino to Seaside - Seaside, OR - June 26, 2017

After saying our goodbyes to our friends and staff at Crescent Bar, we headed over Stevens Pass. We first stopped off at A's RV in East Wenatchee to fill our propane tank. We last filled it in Quartzsite in December. Then gassed up at Fred Meyer for $2.69 a gallon. Washington taxes the crap out of everything. I just heard that the national average is $2.25 a gallon....hmmm...

Highway 2 west to Interstate 5, then north to the Tulalip Casino near Marysville, a 156 mile drive.
We have stayed here many times. The new rule is a 3 day stay. We decided to do 3 days here because our daughter, Candy, is starting work in Everett Monday at the Providence Hospital.
We got parked

 and that night I was sicker than a dog. I've had a cough for a couple of weeks, but this day, I was aching and weak all day. I slept most of the day and night and felt pretty good the next day. Thank goodness.

The second day, we drove over to Tim and Shannons's house and watched Roman & Ryker that day. It was pretty hot out and we had fun playing in the sprinkler.

The third day, Candy arrived and spent the night with us. Candy and I went over to the Casino, registered for their players card, and played the slots with our free $15.00 they gave each of us. I walked away with a cool 35 cents, but Candy came away with a little over 25 bucks. I love winning!

Today, Candy headed off to her new job, and Donna & I headed southward. It was a little stressful day of driving. Going through Everett, Seattle, and Oympia wasn't too bad but it got really slow around JBLM, the military base between Tacoma and Olympia. But we finally got on Highway 101 South and worked our way down to Seaside, OR.


We are stopping at the Seaside Thousand Trails park

for just one night. Then continuing on to Florence tomorrow.

Working, Family, Jello, Crescent Bar TT - Quincy, WA - June 21, 2017

Donna has been working here as a Ranger. She has been working 4 or 5 days a week. They just hired another Ranger, so her hours will be decreasing. And that's a good thing.


Tim & Shannon met us at George, WA

and we took the grandsons, Roman & Ryker for the night while they had a date night.
We all enjoyed the beach and pool.

The next day, we all hit the pool again. The kids love to swim and the weather was great here.

The construction here at Crescent Bar is almost over. The new RV park will open in 2 days. Donna and I have talked about getting new bikes so we could do their new trail.
Almost opening time..

Our youngest daughter, Kim and her new hubby Chris, came to Crescent Bar and spent a night in one of the cabins. We celebrated Kim's 36th birthday.

In the evenings, we have spent quite a bit of time with my sister Karen & Cliff, and with Wayne & Sharon.

But the jello is shaking again.

Donna's brother Gene, who recently moved to Florence, OR, got pretty sick and had to be put in the hospital in Eugene. Donna told him that she would come down there if he needed her. Now he is in a rehab facility trying to get back to normal. He called Donna and asked if she might still be able to come down there. It seems the rehab place won't release him right now if he dosen't have someone at home to care for him and help him re-coop. This RV lifestyle we live allows us to up and change our plans at the drop of the hat  -  Jello. Of course we will come on down and help him out. I'm ready to go, and Donna says maybe we will be back .... we will see..

So this Friday, we will head out and move over to the Tulalip Casino where we will say goodbye to Tim and family, then head to Oregon.


Summer is heating up here and we are looking forward to some milder central coastal Oregon weather.

Good Sam Rally, Grant County Fairgrounds - Moses Lake, WA - June 4, 2017

On the 31st, we moved just about 45 miles up the road to the Grant County Fairgrounds at Moses Lake, for the Washington State Good Sam Rally. This is our 5th or 6th time we have made this rally. My brother Jim & Eileen were there as well.

We got set up next to them, with 30 amp and water hookups.

There were quite a few rigs there.

This is Jim & Eileen with us as we went out to see the local brewpubs.

One of the events this year, was the cow pie toss. Yep, a nice big chunk of cow pie. Jim & Eileen and I all 'played'. I had a good toss, 68 feet. But the winner had a 109 foot toss. It rolled!

Donna set up a table and sewed patches on people's vests. She made $140.00 that she donated to the Fisher House, a program that is similar to the Ronald McDonald House, except it is for veterans.

My brother Jim and I.

Here is one of the morning 'coffee & donuts' get together.

And while we were there, June 1st, our daughter, Kim, was in Las Vegas with her boyfriend Chris. We got a text message from her saying.... we just got married!

Wow! What a shock!


But he is a really great guy and they are happy. That's all that really matters.


Kim & Chris

Sunday, we headed back to Crescent Bar where Donna will be working around 36 hours a week. Ranger Donna .. again this year.

And just accross from us we recognized a couple of RVs.

My sister Karen & Cliff, along with Cliff's brother Wayne & Sharon are here.



Cool!

Let the season begin!
