Enumclaw & Buckley, WA

The last few days have been cool and rainy so we have kind of hung around the RV Park and Base.  Today's high was about 70 degrees.   The sun came out for a while today, so we decided to drive to Enumclaw which is about 25 miles a way.   The first pictures are around the park here at McChord AFB.  This is a really nice park.
