RV rental Menlo, WA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Menlo is a modern version of a one-horse town. It was originally named Menlo Park in 1893 after California’s Menlo Park. Its sign was accidentally cut in half, and thereafter, the city became known as Menlo, Washington. This town is best known for an unusual burial: an 1855 pioneer, Willie Keil, made his way toward the Pacific coast with his family and a group of religious settlers. En route from Missouri, Willie took ill with malaria and passed. His family, determined to get him to their destination, put him in a lead-lined coffin and filled it with 100-proof whiskey. Some 2,000 miles later, “Pickled Pioneer” Willie was buried in Menlo.
