Just saw a report on the Seattle Times web-site that one of the boats on the Coupeville - Port Townsend route ran aground and suffered hull damage approaching the Coupeville dock. It's being repaired at Coupeville and the dock is occupied, making it ...
I figure, as a recently retired RVer, I should let fellow RVer's in on our weather secret. Instead of our usual "800 broken, 1500 overcast, 3/4 mile vis, rain and fog" all of February March and some of April, we're getting gorgeous blue skies and sun...
We finally acted on our decision to quit the RV life. We took our MH to a consignment dealer in Burlington, WA, yesterday. The dealership is "Dreamchasers RV" alongside I-5 north of the town. Friends had their '98 Bounder there after they gave up the...
This came as a surprise to me so I thought I'd pass it on.We're getting ready to give up the RV lifestyle and sell the motor-home. I started out with a major clean-up inside. The last job was to shampoo the carpets. The next afternoon, I was in the R...
From the Seattle P-I this morning:http://www.seattlepi.com/local/komo/article/Underwear-only-driver-leads-cops-on-wild-5527815.phpI have a hard time understanding how the guy thought he could outrun police and fire vehicles in what looks like a 30' T...
We lived in Hampton for 3 years when I was working at NASA-Langley. Nice place, but it's very hot & sticky in summer (dull overcast, 90F and 90% humidity). Fall, winter and spring were great.Glad to be back in the Northwest - now retired in Anacortes...
I gave up RV'ing a few years ago. our last rig was an '02 Georgetown 32-footer with the V-10 engine. I'm sure it had a 5-speed transmission, but can't nip outside to check. I sold it about 5 years ago.I'm probably remembering wrongly!
We bought a used 32' Class C. The previous owner (from new) had equipped it with a spare wheel. It was attached by a chain in the top of the propane tank compartment. It was cushioned so the tank wasn't at risk of damage. In four years and 6000 miles...
In my younger years (mid-20'S), living in the UK, I rode motorcycles based on expenditure needed to run them instead of cars. I also worked for Norton-Villiers for two year before emigrating to the US. I rode a 650SS as a commuter (45 miles each way)...
Around the Western states, we had some slow going, particularly on SR20 going over Washington Pass (5200' above MSL), but our 32-footer Class A with the Ford V-10 managed relatively easily. I think the slowest climb was out of Winthrop, WA, up the lo...
