Willits, CA
We traveled from Crescent City, CA to Willits, CA, driving through the majestic Redwoods and stopping along the way at the Trees of Mystery. We couldn’t believe the number of bicyclists we encountered on HWY 101. In some places there was little or no space on the side of the road for bikes. Super dangerous!…

We drove down the picturesque Oregon coast towards Crescent City, CA and stayed two nights at the Crescent City Redwoods KOA Park. The campground was just off of 101, amongst the Redwoods. It was so heavily wooded, we didn’t even bother to set up Starlink. While there, we spent some time at the beach as…

On the way to South Beach State Park in Newport, OR, we made some fun stops on the way. We took in the roadside views on HWY 101, visited the Tillamook Cheese Factory and got some delicious fish and chips at a little hole in the wall restaurant across the street from the factory. We…

With heavy hearts, we embarked on our trip down the Oregon coast on Highway 101. Steve’s 93 year old dad was suffering from sepsis and was in the hospital. He had been non-responsive since Sunday evening. After being encouraged by our relatives, we decided to say our goodbyes and leave on our trip anyway, knowing…

We arrived in Sun Lakes on Tuesday, the day after Labor Day. The campground was pretty empty. We felt like we had the place to ourselves. And it was hot, hot, hot, mid-90’s every day. We were invited by Ed and Betty Lou. Betty‘s brother Wayne and his wife Betty (yes, two Betty’s!) joined us…

Read MoreHome Again – To Missouri and Back
After six weeks on the road, March 18 – April 27, it felt good to be back in Washington, and back home. We had some amazing adventures, overcame some challenges but overall felt blessed by the opportunity to have those experiences and make some new memories. The big highlights were visiting Melissa and her family,…
Read MoreAnelare Winery – Benton City, WA
Like we did three years ago on our first cross-country trek, we spent our last night at Anelare Winery in Benton City, WA, near Tri-cities. Last time we had the T@b Trailer and parked up above. This time we chose to park down below. Still an amazing view! Also, the last time we were here,…
Read MoreScotch Pines Golf Course – Payette, ID
On our way to Scotch Pines Golf Course we decided to stop at Jiffy Lube and get another oil change, on top of the one we had four days and 1,000+ miles ago. Bernie recommended it as cheap insurance given the knocking we’ve had coming from our engine. We didn’t see any metal shavings in…

We stayed two nights at a KOA camp in Arco, ID, 20 miles east of the Craters of the Moon National Park. Arco’s claim to fame, it was the first city in the world to be powered by atomic energy. When we visited Craters of the Moon National Park, we found that the Visitor’s Center…
