The water tank in Big Blue ran dry on Thursday night. Left with no choice, we packed up and retreated out of the forest and back towards Winthrop for a single night’s stay to refill our stores, shower, and recharge the battery. Being only 15 minutes out of town, it...
Big Blue has been getting a workout this week. Not one, not two, not three, but five different locations in and around the Hoh rain forest area of Olympic National Park. It all started with getting out of town for the Labor Day weekend. To avoid the crowds we didn’t...
The week’s stay in PT consisted of the usual work-week activities, of course. We were also able to walk into town to spend our first work morning drinking our brew with a view looking out over the marina. All other mornings I could not get Kerri out of bed early...
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...
Two years ago, when camped on a beach, I was approached by a nicely dressed Mexican cowboy (aka, Vaquero). Complete with a large hat and equally sized buckle (and a gold tooth) he went on in his native language to explain to this non Spanish speaking gringo that he has...
We still had a few days of our weekend before having to go into town (Mulege) for the work week, and we were going to do all that we could in that short amount of time. Off to the beach for us… which is an easy thing to find in...
We spent one final week in the States, with friends, boondocking near the south entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. This gave us time to really button up some final to-do’s on the van rebuild and take care of the last items on the going-to-baja checklist. The week consisted of...
It isn’t often, but sometimes we moochdock at a friend’s or family-members house. In fact we have a lot of that in the next two months, but before that we stopped in to visit an old client and now friend of mine, Charlie Parker. Moose and I have dropped in...
