The End of the Road… New Beginnings, and a Lucky Shot, *Redux-Sorry
Look at this lucky shot I took of a surfer and a humpback. We are off the road and in Florida. It’s not that we haven’t been traveling, just a different kind, by plane, like my recent trip to Hawaii.

Wrapping it All Up…LA, San Diego and a Long Ride Home
I have been very lax in posting. When last you heard we were in Paso Robles, at the end of September, enjoying a little more vino. Here it is a month later, we are back in Florida, enjoying being in

Paso Robles: A Little more Vino and the Unimaginably Rich
I have this fascination with the lifestyles of the rich and famous…not today’s nouveau sort, I mean the old-money rich, and nothing says old money like William Randolph Hearst. When we left Monterey and moved down to Paso Robles our

Back to the California Coast at Monterey
After several days in Yosemite, communing with nature, we looked forward to having basic services again, like water and power. This comes with a trade off though. As we head further south along the Pacific coast we are starting to

You Can Never See Too Many Rocks: Yosemite National Park
Hubby is fond of saying, when his ADD kicks in, that “if you’ve seen one rock, you’ve seen them all.” Granted I have dragged him to Yellowstone, Arches, and Canyon Lands Parks, as well as the Canadian Rockies…all resplendent with

Vineyards, Mountains, Lakes and Fires: Napa Valley
We loved the coast around Mendocino and even though we had the scary drive to get there, we enjoyed our stay. Now we were moving on, to the Napa area and a five day stay on Lake Berryessa. We were looking forward

The Road to Mendocino, scary, scary scary
We continue our trek south along the California coast. The Crescent City/Klamath area didn’t have the rugged looks of Oregon, but we did enjoy the Redwoods. Now we were headed to coastal Mendecino. I had called the Casper Beach RV

California: First Look at the Redwoods
Our fun Labor Day weekend over, it was time to hit the road again. We left sadly left Port Orford and continued south down highway 101, enjoying the beauty of the last 60 miles of the Oregon coast, particularly the Cape

Labor Day in Port Orford, Oregon – a Gem of a Place
We moved down the coast from Florence, Oregon to Port Orford…a big 100 or so miles. We had reservations in a KOA. KOA’s are never my first choice of campgrounds to stay in, usually they are more expensive because you

After spending four days on Twin Lake and four days on Lava lake, both in the middle of nowhere in the Deschutes National Forest, I was ready for the coast, for civilization, for a TV show (even a lousy summer

Twisted Sisters, Oregon- Continued
Leaving Hood River and the Columbia River Gorge we headed south towards the Cascades and the lakes to do some fishing. Our route toward Bend skirted the desert areas of Oregon. The varied terrain has been one of the most impressive

Final stop in Washington: Lakes, Logger Jamboree’s and Mt. Rainier
We are finishing up a week on Mayfield Lake in Washington, staying at Harmony Lakeside RV resort in Mossy Rock (love that name.) It has been a fine place to relax and enjoy the nice weather we have finally settled

An Early Peek at the Oregon Coast
We have been looking forward to getting into Oregon, since so many friends have said the coast (as well as the rest of the state,) is special. We were at the southernmost end of Washington, and it was a perfect

At the Beach…Long Beach Peninsula, Washington
We began our re-entry from Canada into the U.S. on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. We decide to keep traveling south and see the whole coast rather than heading inland. We spent some time on the river in Hoquiam and visited

Put Them in Tree Museums…
Traveling across British Columbia, and now through Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, I’ve been thinking a lot about that old (1970?) Joni Mitchell song, Big Yellow Taxi. (You younger people can google it) The lines that keep popping into my mind: They took all

Six weeks of road travel and a 15-hour ferry ride down the Inner Passage have brought us to our final stop in Canada, Vancouver Island. We arrived in Port Hardy at 11 PM and the RV park we were heading for

This was the last leg of our drive across northern British Columbia and the most scenic. We paralleled the Skeena River for the entire drive and were surrounded by more beautiful, snow capped mountains. It has been five weeks since we

Canoeing Across British Columbia
Well, we didn’t really canoe across the Province. We drove with our canoe on top of the car behind the RV, but it was in water much of the time as we explored the many lakes of northern British Columbia
