Our geographical location is now about central on the Washington Coast, about 4 miles north of Ocean Shores. The town of Ocean Shores is on a peninsula, that ends at the entrance to Grays Harbor. We drove around the community yesterday, and there are a lot of very nice homes, most of which seemed to be empty. I suspect that most of these homes are of the vacation type, which would explain the lack of occupancy. Lots of beach front motels, and even a convention center. Back in the days when I was involved in planning the Bridgeport Motorcycle Rally, one of my partners used to talk about a big Motorcycle Rally in Ocean Shores, WA. When we were at the visitor center, I saw a poster that advertised this same rally, which is coming up in August.
It rained off and on most of the day, so we grabbed a few groceries, and got back to the motor home about mid afternoon. This morning, the wind is blowing with more rain, so, it might be another popcorn and movie day.

The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
