    Thank you for Sharing your Travel up in WA from CA. Weather wise it appeared to be cooler for Summer months and my question was I noticed the date of your camp stay was in May which would explain the overall Vid weather was during Spring ? It helps me to know what weather to expect. Again, Thanks 👍🐶🚙

    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
