Again changes in the wind

It's been a long time since I posted a blog. We just had so much happening, since we arrived home after hurricane Irma. We see a big change in our RV part time lifestyle happening. No we are not hanging up the keys just yet. We will be traveling on shorter trips and for a shorter amount of time. We had planned on six months of travel a year. For the present we will probably not be traveling for more than a month at a time. We hope this will change in the future, back to four to six months. But for now we'll be doing shorter trips.
I started to write the above several week ago. Then I had a heart attack. S__t happens, as the saying goes. For the near future are plan's are on hold. Linda also has some medical issues going on. I have a bunch of doctor appointments scheduled and so does Linda. Just have to jump over this hurdle. We'll keep you posted.

Opinion; The back section is much nicer if on the perimeter of the oval, you back up to woods. The
                center is back to back parking. No piracy between sites. Front of park has few pull-thrus,
                FHU. dump up front near exit. We were still hooking up our car on the road and someone already backed into the space we just left, Very, very busy

See our little white car

Cape Flatery, Olympic National Park, late July 2017

We took a trip to Cape Flattery from the Riverview RV Park in Forks, a trip of about 50 miles. Cape Flattery is the most northwesterly point in the contiguous US. It is on the Olympic Peninsula where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets the Pacific Ocean.
The Neah Bay area is home to about 1600 Makah Indians. This is where the Cape Flattery trail lies. Cape Flattery Trail is about a half mile long with about a 200 foot drop. It is made up of dirt, boardwalks and stairs. Some in much needed repairs. The trail end sits on a overlook with a huge drop to the water below. Cape Flattery Light is on Tahoosh Island. It is decommissioned. There are sea caves on both sides of the lookout.
