Early & Post Fire + New RV

These are a couple of photos for comparison. The 3-smokes shot was soon after the fire started and next one is today after the smoke cleared so you can see how the area burned off. With the fire retardant and burned areas it looks a little like a southwest hillside with red rock.  

 Earlier this month we went to a family wedding (grandnephew Justin and bride Kristin) near Portland and then up to Sequim, WA to buy a truck camper for the next phase of our travels. The travel trailer is really nice once it arrives at camp and the truck is unhooked. If you've been to our house you can imagine the difficulty inserting it here. It would be much better if no one else were on the road while I negotiate into the property, but that doesn't happen. So we downsized. A lot!

The two photos with water are the Hood Canal not far from Dosewallips State Park, WA.  I saw two bald eagles that morning on the river in front of our campsite. Carole, standing in the back, is at our campsite after we spent our first night.

 This is after I knocked most the bugs off the truck and camper. This makes a good emergency home in case of more wildfires and other home threatening events! We're not planning any, but then we didn't plan the last one either.

Just a reminder, you can click any photo in the blog to see the images made large. At least that works on my computer, maybe it will on yours.
