If we had taken the direct route from Florence to Klamath Falls, it would have taken us around five hours but instead we took a scenic route. First stop was Springfield with its fun murals and a yummy lunch at Plank Town Brewing Company. Later on we just had to make a...
This is Lou's Happy Place. She specifically wanted to visit this, the most photographed lighthouse in the country while we were traveling together. In the the years that she has lived in California Lou has spent much of her leisure time on the Pacific Coast. Once she...
We learned about Sea Lion Caves from our camp host. What a treasure! In 1880 a local seaman discovered this amazing cave frequented during the fall and winter by Steller Sea Lions. He purchased the property soon after for the purpose of protecting these creatures. The...

Our home last night was the Vancouver RV Park, a distinctly urban park with tight sites, full hookups, and a prohibition against tents. It served our purpose nicely yesterday. Today we took advantage of the location and after pulling out we drove a few short blocks to...
It was an incredible visit with George and Dolores. It's a friendship that goes back to our college days at St Petersburg Junior College and the University of South Florida Engineering. All four of us were charter members of the SPJC chapter of the Newman Club. George...
