The two RV Gypsies parked
their RV at Encore Thousand Trails RV Resorts in Long Beach, Washington.
As usual with Thousand Trails, they got to pick their own site, which
is nice, but may change in the future. This is the first time that the
two RV Gypsies saw back-to-back sites. Long sites were divided by a
horizontal line and each RV backed into the site from opposite sides,
being careful not to take up any of the other RV's space. Each space
had both a 50 amp and a 30 amp electric hook-up. The first RV in the
long site gets to pick the amperage they want. The RV of the two RV
Gypsies stuck out into the road just a touch. They picked that site
because it was right across from an empty field where they could park
their toad. There was no Wi-Fi at sites. Only about 5 TV stations came
in. Once again, there was beach access right from the park. |

 Upon
check-in, the two RV Gypsies were given a full page paperwork on tsunamis
and what to do if they felt an earthquake, because a wave
as high as 30 feet could reach this park and Long Beach within 30 minutes
after the first shake is felt. SCARY STUFF!

Below: Just a few feet onto
the trail, Karen Duquette told Lee Duquette to look just a bit to the
side of the trail because the mist from the beach was rolling in and
hiding the view. |

Below: After walking the narrow
dirt trail, the two RV Gypsies came to a paved trail and a jogging /
bicycle path that horizontally crossed over between the two paths. At
the end of the paved path, the two RV Gypsies reached the beach and
Lee Duquette noticed that the sand was soft and black in color. |

the tracks and designs in the dark colored sand |

Below: Suddenly the sand was
no longer black in color. Karen Duquette stood where the trail
met the actual beach. It was windy and cold, maybe about 50 degrees,
if that. |

snapped a picture of themselves on the beach before heading back up
to trail to the warm RV. Nobody else was around. |

 On the trail, Lee Duquette decided to play Indian with a feather he found.
