Playing, in the Seattle area, Part 2
While we were in Seattle we did a lot of exploring. The following are a few places we visited. Lots of pictures incoming! We discovered a great place to get a view of Seattle, that was higher than the Space Needle. It cost less, and was much quieter. The Columbia Center tower offers an observation…
Playing, in the Seattle area, Part 1
Nate and I have been out and about a lot, in the Seattle area. Do any of you know what Ingress is?
Back to Seattle for the holidays and then some: Part 2
Since we’ve been in Seattle, we’ve completed a project or two, and we’ve learned a lot about living full time in our trailer. This trailer, while it’s got a great floor plan for full time living, is still lacking in counter space. We fixed this by taking a John Boos cutting board, and turning it…
Back to Seattle for the holidays and then some: Part 1
After we were at the Oregon Coast, we went back to Boise for a bit. We got some warranty work done on the fifth wheel, and then headed back toward Seattle. On the way there, we spent two weeks in November in Fall City which is near Issaquah. We stayed at Tall Chief RV. It…
Newport, OR. The Ocean!
After we left Seattle, we headed down to the Newport area for a two week stay at South Beach, OR, at a Thousand Trails RV Park called Whaler’s Rest.

Seattle. Projects!
I thought I’d be better at being able to keep up with the blog, but surprisingly, without a job at the moment, I’m busier than ever. It’s weird how that works. For the month of September, we stayed in Seattle. My folks have space on their property where they already had an RV pad from…
Mt. Hood over Labor Day Weekend
We spent some time with the family over Labor Day weekend near Mt. Hood, in Oregon. We were with John and Nancy (Nate’s folks) and Janine and Casey (Nate’s sister and Brother in Law) and their kids Alexandra and Evan. We stayed at the Mt. Hood Village RV Resort.

Intermission
Ok. It’s late one night, and you have a trip coming the next day. You both decide that after a long day of packing, you want to test fit some things in the garage of the trailer, and then you also know that you haven’t dumped in a while, and the trailer is stinky. So,…
Eclipse Chasing, Baker, OR
For the few days surrounding the August 21st Eclipse, we spent time with family over in Baker, OR. We managed to squeeze our fifth wheels in the driveway of a family member’s ranch near Medical Springs. This worked out great for us, we got to spend time in a nice quiet area with great company,…
Electronics Install…
Wires and goop oh my! In order to live in our fifth wheel full time, we wanted to make it like our home, and since we’re kids of the electronics age, we wanted our things of comfort. We also needed items to help us find data connections so we can work easier. So, this includes…
