2023 Adventures
Ocean City State Park, Ocean Shores
Sam and Theresa invited us to join them at Ocean Shores. They stayed at the Quinalt Casino while we stayed at the Ocean City Campground, within walking distance. In fact, we walked down the beach with Sam and Theresa and with the help of GPS, found the trail that led to our campsite. In addition…
Read MoreCamp David, Labor Day Weekend
We spent an extended four day Labor Day weekend at David and Cathy’s near Belfair, WA. We camped alongside their home, so we called it Camp David. They hosted a fun party with family and friends on Sunday, which included some delicious food and interesting conversation. Dick and I reminisced about the old Seattle Times…
Read MoreKOA, Pasco, WA – Again!
We drove to Pasco to have our trailer worked on by Broadmoore RV, the place we purchased our rig from. It was a quick overnight stay so they could handle the three recalls on our unit, the solar panels, the coupler and the spare tire assembly. The solar panels had screws that were backing out…
Read MoreDeception Pass, July 2023
We camped at Deception Pass State Park, from Friday, 7/28 to Monday 7/31. This campsite was strategically close to Anacortes where our nephew Eric and Taylor’s wedding took place on Saturday. When we arrived at the state park, we instantly donned our sweat shirts to handle the 67 degree weather! It was refreshing after the…
Read MoreKOA, Pasco, WA
We drove from West Point, Idaho to Pasco, Washington and stayed at a KOA campground right next-door to Broadmoor RV where we bought Minnie Cooper. We paid them a visit and we were enamored with a 21 foot version of our trailer that they had on sale as a manager’s special. It had a larger…
Read MoreSchneiters Bluff Golf Course, West Point, Utah
We arrived at Schneiters Bluff golf course and were greeted with record breaking heat, 105°, our seventh day in a row of 100° plus. This was our second time staying at this Harvest Host location, and for good reason. This quaint little course has a family, friendly vibe, accentuated by the number of kids learning…
Read MoreMoab, Utah
After two wonderful days in Aspen, we packed up and headed for Moab, Utah. All we can say is, HOT! 102°! This makes three days in a row of 100°+ weather, after several days of highs in the upper 90’s. After getting set up at the KOA, our first stop was the pool. We also…
Read MoreAspen, Colorado
We took a picturesque drive from Canon City to Carbondale, Colorado, mostly through remote mountainous regions altitudes of 6,000 to 10,000 feet. We stayed at the Gateway RV Park in Carbondale and backed into our tight, but adequate, RV spot on a cliff above the Rio Grande river. We immediately noticed the signs that read,…
Read MoreThe Winery at Holy Cross Abbey, Cañon City, Colorado
We arrived at the winery in the mid-afternoon sun, 95 degrees plus! Grasshoppers galore! It took a while to get level, but once we did, we walked over to the winery, found a spot in the shade and ordered a wine sampler and a charcuterie tray of prosciuto, mozzarella cheese, green olives and crackers. The…
Read MoreMeade State Park, Kansas
We had a peaceful drive through Kansas farmland and small towns on Highway 54. Meade state park was a beautiful little park with a lake about the size of Green Lake. We took the 2 1/2 mile hike around the lake, then sat underneath the awning and played two games of cribbage. The mosquitoes were…
