OK, so this may sound weird, but the last two weeks were all decided on this week’s reservation in Port Townsend. The dates that we could get booked at the Point Harbor Marina decided all the other; including my son’s visit and everything leading up to it. It has been...
We have been lingering near Astoria because Kerri had a hair appointment on Saturday morning. It also gave me the opportunity to offload our just-replaced stove/oven. Saturday officially marks Big Blue’s return to oven-less-ness – back to just a two burner stove. After a few hours of waiting around in...
We did not stay the entire week at the Moose lodge, opting to move mid week. We moved just a dozen miles South to visit with the Watsons again (not our first time this year) who were camped nearby. A meetup in town at the Shelburne – the oldest operating...
It’s been a while since we have spent a night at a roadside rest area, but after leaving our forest site and driving for hours to pickup water and trying to find a spot to crash for the night, we settled on the nice rest area just south of Tillamook,...
Instead of staying another night in the forest, we re-joined the asphalt highway and pointed ourselves North. An hour’s drive up the coast is the Rogue Brewery and the Port of Newport Marina and RV Park. Although it was a plain-jane asphalt parking lot with many other rigs parked about, we did...
Arriving in the Shasta area, Kerri had planned for us to explore a particular area that she found some interesting things on her map. Since we had a few days before the work week began we were without the constraints of needing a cell signal. That meant exploring a ton...
With our weekend in Big Sur coming to an end, we rolled into Monterey to spend a few of the work days. There, not far out of town, is a county park that allows camping, up to 3 days. This would work out perfectly for us as we wanted to...
It was certainly a culture shock to make the jump from the Sierra Mountains to William’s Hill – a few hours due West of our previous weekend’s adventures – but Kerri had a hankering for some sea views in Big Sur, and who am I to keep my girl wanting....
We have been spending more and more of our time down some random dirt road, and I have to say it suits us just fine. Just a little bit of research on the maps gives us all sorts of ideas on roads that might lead us somewhere cool, and the...
We were not far out of Benton Hot Springs when we saw a dirt road leading off the asphalt and into a very cool looking canyon. Kerri and I both wanted to go see what was beyond, so we did just that and a pleasant surprise it was. It helps...
