Centralia, Washington and Pendleton, Oregon


Hoquiam, Washington was a good location to park the RV
while exploring the southern Washington Coast.


The town has few attractions as it is mainly a port and logging center.


Moving inland to Centralia, Washington we discovered Fort Borst Park.


The old time pioneer school house.


The park grounds has well maintained flower and vegetable gardens.


Homestead Pioneer Joseph Borst's home.


Fort Borst was constructed in 1856 to store grain for army troops during wars with Chehlis Indians who actually turned out to be friendly.

Note the rifle slots on the second story.

Borst later bought the Fort for $100 from the federal government.


Heading east, Pendleton, Oregon was an overnight stop at 
Wild Horse Casino and RV Park.

This RV'r figured out how to tow both his motorcycle and smart car.


Camping in an Indian Tepee was another option for travelers who paid $25/night.  We saw a couple with 5 children enjoying the experience.
