But first, the final day of our last post. Indeed, as one might expect, we did not head straight home from the camping trip. We meandered highway 49 through the Sierras. It was cold and rained all through the mountains. The clouds were low in the trees creating an eerie smoky image. We stopped at… Continue reading Preparing for the biggest adventure yet!

Camping with the family and Four Wheel Camper Rally
We are off for the week in CasaGiro. The main event is this weekend, a Four Wheel Camper Rally where owners shows off the upgrades and additions to their rigs along with sharing, perhaps embellished, adventure stories. We enjoy finding ideas for storage, new places to visit, and fun enhancements to make camper traveling more… Continue reading Camping with the family and Four Wheel Camper Rally
Sierra Mountains California – Continued
The next morning we continue our journey on highway 4 into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. These small towns take us a step back in time. Picnic in Angels Camp, famous for frog jumping competitions. We stop at the national forestry ranger station. We find they are always helpful with local information, camping suggestions, and great… Continue reading Sierra Mountains California – Continued
Wandering Eastern California and the Sierra’s
With work slowing down and the weather warming, we are antsy to get out on the road again. Where to go is always the question. Often, we expend lots of energy in the search of the perfect destination. (Which is often a moot point since we get distracted and wander off in an alternate direction.)… Continue reading Wandering Eastern California and the Sierra’s
The Pinnacles – Wandering close to home
This section of our blog is aptly called “Wandering” as we rarely go directly from point A to point B. We are big on back-roads, detours, anything off the beaten path. What most would consider a short distance drive, for example Santa Cruz to the Pinnacles: one hour and a half drive, takes us the… Continue reading The Pinnacles – Wandering close to home
Coming to an end………………..
Time for a stop to catch up on work. We stay at Riverview RV park on the Rouge River. Lots of interesting building art and bears. Here is how we have been living for nearly five weeks. Today set up as an office. We have all the “conveniences” of home just on a small scale.… Continue reading Coming to an end………………..
Oregon – Cousins and Hazelnuts
Back over the border into Oregon, we continue our slow trek towards home. The beautiful falls of the Columbia river, the 2nd most powerful in North American, in Oregon City has furnished power for a lumber mill in 1842, a flour mill in 1844, a woolen mill in 1864, and the first pacific north west… Continue reading Oregon – Cousins and Hazelnuts
Hiking in the City
We hiked Cougar Mountain, an expansive forested park inside the city of Bellevue. There is a reason it is called cougar mountain, yes there are warning signs regarding bear and cougar. Gratefully we saw neither. I am fortunate to have a handy husband who can fix things easily. The plug to our car cooler seems… Continue reading Hiking in the City
Whidbey Island WA
Off the ferry onto Whidbey Island We drove all around the enchanting island of Whidbey. We crossed over Deception Pass, an impressive bridge spanning high above the river gorge of Puget Sound. We parked and walked the bridge. Only one side of the bridge is open due to maintenance work. I shot a picture of… Continue reading Whidbey Island WA
Unusual Stay – Little Creek Casino……
Desperate to do laundry, we decide to stay a night at a full-service casino RV park. Not my first choice. And it turned out to be fantastic. Sometimes I really need to learn to relax and let it go! Not only was there a huge, beautiful golf course nestled in the trees where we were… Continue reading Unusual Stay – Little Creek Casino……
