You are about to enter the blogosphere with the Travlinman. This is my first attempt at a blog so I hope you will bear with me for a week, or more, if I can keep you interested.

I thought I would start off with a travelogue of our recent week long RV trip to the Washington coast where we stayed at Grays Harbor at the Twin Harbors State Park............

DAY 1

We packed up our 5th wheel trailer in preparation for a five night trip to Grays Harbor on the Washington coast. It is always a pain to pack up the trailer after leaving it sit for more than a few months. There is always something that doesn’t seem to work as well as I would like it to. It either leaks, it's stuck, it leaks, or maybe it isn't even there. So there is always at least one hour spent in getting things back into optimal working condition.

Just after 10:30 AM we pulled out onto the road just in front of the house, where we parked, and then spent the next half-hour searching for the dogs leash and Sharon’s sun glasses. Found the sun glasses but who knows what happened to the leash. It was on the kitchen counter waiting to be packed just minutes before we were ready to leave.

We left Gig Harbor and took the back roads on our way to Grayland, WA, a trip of about 100 miles. The weather was perfect; 73 degrees, sunny with a few clouds, and the scenery was magnificent. The road meandered through alder and fir covered hills, then it would tuck in close to scenic vistas of the Puget Sound.

The road took us through Alyne, home of the Big Bubbas Burger, then on to Shelton, where just a few weeks earlier we had stopped in for a scrumptious all-you-can-eat seafood breakfast at the Little Creek Casino. It was just after noon as we passed the casino, but we had the big-rig on and besides we had just eaten before we left home.

The scenery, the distance and the time passed quickly and before we knew it we arrived at the Twin Harbors campground, space number five, our home for the next week.
