    We did that trip 4 years ago. Washington is so beautiful, like Oregon but more out of the way along the beaches. We have a little 25' Flair class A. My wife and I. Like a little on-suite apartment, kitchen and 2 swivel rockers. We did casino's, parking lots and off-grid the whole trip. Was parked up near the beach in Depoe Bay Oregon last year and so far this year we have done a 4 day trip to Astoria, one to Tillamook and a week down to Yachats. Your channel just popped up on U-tube, nice to follow your adventures and relive some of the places we have been....James

    I really do like that you name the towns you are in and the places you go. all to often I'll watch a RUclipsr and never know where they are at. just be safe and always have a big time difference of where you are when you post it, I'm sure you are aware of that.

It helps me to know what weather to expect. Again, Thanks 👍🐶🚙
