The more we learn about the Bonneville complex the more we want to learn. We extended our stay in Cascade Locks, Oregon so we could come see the visitors center on the Washington side and tour the new powerhouse. Yesterday's tour guide was an engineer who emphasized...
Yesterday we arrived at the Bradford Island Visitors Center on the Oregon side of the Bonneville Lock and Dam too late for the powerhouse tour. This morning we arrived two and a half hours too early so we headed to the Bonneville Fish Hatchery to meet its famous...
One of the delights of travel with our T@B 400 behind us is that we carry all the facilities we need for a little rest stop. This morning we pulled off WA-101 just north of Kalaloch and made ourselves some tea while admiring the beauty of Washington State's Wild...
Sunset at Rialto seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, but we didn't stay on the beach the whole time. Instead we made the nine minute drive to the Three Rivers Resort Restaurant for some Halibut Fish & Chips. The food was good but the references to The...
A year ago the Eagle Creek Fire was raging through the Columbia River Gorge and Mt Hood National Forest. We were a bit reticent about visiting on this trip and we find it discouraging to look at the extensive fire damage. Parts of our beloved US-30 are closed due to...
Kevin, our host at the Cascade Locks KOA, as we were checking in for our stay on #127, gave us an overview of things to do in the area, what's currently unavailable due to last year's fire, what route to take to various places since much of US-30 is now closed. He...
See Olympic Park Intro Video See Olympic NP Videos It's been a fabulous stay on #19 in Mora Campground. We chose Mora not only for its proximity to Rialto Beach but also for its National Park aesthetic and its affordability, only $10 per night with our Senior Pass!...
At 1:15PM today we finally got to put our names on the list for the Bonneville Powerhouse Tour. Our guide took us through the geology of the Columbia Basin, the largest watershed system on the Pacific side of the Americas and then told the story of the landslide from...
These are friendships forged back in 1970 at St Petersburg Junior College and cemented at University of South Florida. With George and Delores making their home now in Vancouver, Washington our opportunities to visit are infrequent and oh so precious. Today they made...
With a degree of trepidation we set out this morning to hike to Hole in the Wall from the Rialto Beach parking lot, in Olympic National Park on Washington State's Pacific Coast. It's only two miles each way. Oh yeah, it's through beach rock and sand. How will the...

On the Hidden London Tour today we visited a number of curious places relating to the history of public transportation hidden in plain sight.
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
