Today started early when Lou got going for her first day back to work then Megan visited with us for a bit before heading in for a teacher planning day. When we finally got going we headed over to Pearl Cafe for a brunch and lingered for a while. Checked out Kohl's...
A nice and gentle day in Mountain View starting with visiting over our coffee, tea, and breakfast. Meg told us about her responsibilities as a new Third Grade teacher. The conversation turned to binoculars so Lou brought out her collection and shared her expertise...
From Point Arena we followed California Highway One, the Pacific Coast Highway with its dramatic views, twists, turns, and spectacular drop offs. We paused at The Sea Ranch Lodge for a delicious Fish & Chips lunch, an amazing ocean vista, and the opportunity to...
Lou is definitely in her element! Point Arena is a sister to Pigeon Point, the lighthouse where she volunteers as a docent. This lighthouse replaced the 1870 lighthouse that was destroyed by the 1905 San Francisco Earthquake. This replacement with its cylindrical...
From Burlington we headed south on the Avenue of the Giants, soon back onto US-101, then onto the Pacific Coast Highway with its extraordinary breathtaking views and twisting curves. About noon we paused at a scenic view area to make lunch. A T@G was also there but...
You can meet the nicest people in a campground. We had a couple of conversations this morning with fellow travelers. Siblings Wayne and Marilu from NC and WA stopped by and the more we talked the more we discovered we had in common. Eventually though we all headed out...

Back in another lifetime, Lou and Karen's brother Michael lived in this coastal town. He was tickled by the Victorian architecture and the local brewery back before microbreweries were ubiquitous. Today we found some on street parking for the T@B so we could do a bit...
See Park Video See Land of Giants Park Video After yesterday's bust we reconnoitered and decided to do a deliberately long day today. Out of Oregon and into the California Redwoods. A stop at the post office and general store in O'Brien and another one at The...
Wow, that was quite a blow! We set up last night under windy conditions and the blusteriness continued until after midnight. It buffeted the tent, rocked the T@B, and sent some cottonwood branches flying. Other than some frayed nerves and a tiny hole in the tent we...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

It’s been a gentle start to our London visit. We’ve taken it easy for a few days and concentrated on enjoying Hampstead.
On our transition day from the cruising segment of this summer’s adventures to an England visit based in Hampstead in London we savored the comforts of a Blue Eurostar journey through The Chunnel.
The tour guide for the Old Town Waling Tour in Kristiansand regaled us with tales of the history of Norway in general and Kristiansand in particular.
