Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
(Hopefully NorCal Dan will report in that they are fine since their workcamping gig is right on the Pacific Ocean.)
Last night our weather radio went off to tell us about the earthquake in Japan and to warn us about tsunamis coming into Santa Barbara, CA area, which is where we are. Luckily we are inland in Santa Maria at over 200' elevation so we are safe and did not do anything. But we have stayed in places that would not be safe, like the Elks lodge in Oceano, CA about 20 miles from here, and other campgrounds in California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. If we were in one of those locations last night we would have evacuated, just like the news says they evacuated the Pismo Beach RV Park.
I remember that for years people would steal the tsunami route signs along the Oregon and Washington coasts as souveniers, but once the big Indonesia quake hit the signs only needed replacement when they wore out.

We're ok. I notified all our campers around 0100 hours and then watched the news all night. We made preparations to evacuate but they never upgraded Washington above advisory level, and the Hawaii video didn't look bad so we decided to stay put...a couple of our hosts went to Raymond for the night but returned early this morning. A rather interesting night/morning...
