Work Camping in Moses Lake Washington at Pier 4 - May-July 2015

Yes I am still alive and kicking. We made it out of California to Moses Lake without breaking down, that's a plus. I spent the summer work camping at Pier 4, which let me spend time with the in-laws, get Jenna moved to Cheney for college, visit with Wade and friends at Bonner General and have doctor's appointments and had a nice visit with my Uncle Mike and Aunt Rae. For the uninitiated work camping means you work at the campground/RV park in exchange for space rent/utilities. I did earn the minimum wage. It actually was a great experience, though you have to ask your self this: why would a licensed, college educated health care professional want to spend the summer scrubbing bathrooms??? Well, I found myself wondering the same thing, but it was perfectly mindless work and great exercise, I could go to work in shorts and sandals without caring about what my hair looked like. I was done in time to watch the Price is Right, how many years have I stood in patient's rooms trying to sneak a glimpse at the Price is Right? It haunts me still. (smile) Stay tuned!

Casino in Southern Oregon, spent the night in the free RV park
Nice Free RV park, they shuttle you up to the casino so you can lose your money!

A family of 2 adults and 2 kids live in this bus, they were panhandling at a rest area in Oregon. 

They keep chickens in a coop on the roof of the bus! They hope to expand in to meat rabbits the dad told me.

The Oregon/Washington border. All of Washington is NOT green.

NOT! And super Windy in The Dalles!

 I cooked a Thanksgiving dinner, as my Sister-in-Law had brought a turkey, but it turns out she didn't know how to cook it!!!
