Washington

Traveling around Washington for awhile. Went to the beach for a week to see the Fireworks at Quinalt Beach Casino then up around Forks. We are now 1/2 owners of a small sail boat with some very good friends near Port Townsend. We will be going to Canada to see the Three Dog Night Concert in a few weeks. I started a website   www.traveloffgrid.com   It has links to this and other sites we use while traveling.
