A few days before thanksgiving, while parked in Vegas, I got the craving for Starbucks, so I left the RV park and drove to the nearest one. As I pulled up to the drive through window, the cashier slid the window open and I was bombarded with holiday smells, cheerful employees, and holiday music. The…

This post is a bit behind, so I’m going to put several things together. This will be a picture heavy post. We’re currently back in the Boise area – we came here over the holidays – and I finally have some time to put this out. Apologies for the delay! When we left Bonneville we…

After Boise, we dragged our friends to Duck Valley for a week as a stopover while we worked our way south to Vegas. The first couple of days, it was only Justin and Stacy and us. Then, Nancy and John joined since we hadn’t been able to make our visit that long in Boise. We…

  We headed up to Rufus OR again, from La Pine, on the way back to Boise. Rufus makes a great stopover – though this time it was really busy with other people doing the same thing. It worked out though, as Heather had to run up to Seattle for a day to take Mica…

Of all the things available to RV boondockers such as ourselves, is something called “Boondocker’s Welcome“. It’s an amazing service that property owners provide for people needing a place to stay for a couple of nights. You pay a small annual fee, and you are allowed to set up a profile and explore a map…

Originally we were going to head to Montana to see Glacier again this year, with hopes that it wouldn’t be smoked in. Together with Justin and Stacy we were working out plans when mention of the coast came up. They had never been to the Washington or Oregon coast. We ourselves had never really seen…

While in Seattle, we got a lot accomplished project-wise. We helped Dad with a few things including pouring concrete for and building a neighbor’s shed. We worked on some nice updates for the trailer, as well as fixed the brake line issue and installed some CB and Ham radio gear. We helped maintain the yard,…

For this summer in Seattle, we saw and revisited a lot of sites with family and friends. For a few days over the 4th, Nate’s parents, Nancy and John, as well as Nate’s sister Janine and her family gathered together with us at my parent’s place.  We visited the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, took…

We love the Oregon coast. We love going out on fishing trips there, sightseeing, eating the food, breathing the cool, crisp air, and walking on the beach. On this trip, we planned another bottom fishing trip with our family and friends. Among the folks we reunited with are a couple who moved to the Oregon…

Done with Yellowstone, it was now time to catch up with the rest of our plans. We stopped in Boise for a couple of days, and then started our trek to Newport, OR, for an upcoming fishing trip and to meet up with Nathan’s Sister and her family, as well as some friends. John and…
