Today we returned to Dry Falls. In 2008 we stopped here just because we spotted the Brown Sign and it was then that we began to learn about the Missoula Floods, the series of catastrophic floods that occurred during the Last Ice Age and so dramatically sculpted the...
Our plans to just relax and watch the sun set this evening were revised when we learned that there would be a laser light show at Grand Coulee Dam this evening. We decided to take advantage of the opportunity and headed to the dam as dusk began to settle. We went down...
Perched above Lake Roosevelt, we're ensconced in Spring Canyon Campground on Site #18. It's time to relax in this beautiful place. Yesterday after the T@B Breakfast we took time for mundane things like an oil change, getting one of our security keys replaced. Ask us...
One of the features of Peaceful Pines is the proximity to some very busy BNSF railroad tracks. Trains are coming and going at all hours. This morning we walked out to a path along the tracks and watched long long freight trains passing us in both directions trying to...
Apparently we have the distinction of being the folks who have traveled furthest to join the monthly Spokane T@B Breakfast on the second Saturday of each month. For us it was an amazing opportunity to meet several Washingtonian T@B owners/enthusiasts with whom we’d...
In July Karen invested in a new rain jacket at Duluth Trading Company. Then in August when visiting with Eddie Doherty, the last Donegal Tweed handweaver in Ardara, County Donegal, she took the jacket off to try on a pocket cape and inadvertently left the jacket...
With a weekend coming up we thought it would be prudent to have a reservation so we consulted Allstays for an appealing place within a reasonable distance of Spokane. Peaceful Pines sounded nice so we called. They were full on Saturday. No, wait! Just eighteen feet?...
Landscape of History: The Nez Perce Video In theory the trip from Lowman to Winchester, Idaho takes an hour and a quarter. For us it took more like six hours of driving plus stops. The scenery was fabulous! Riggins, Idaho was a great place to pause for lunch at the...
At day’s end we’re at Mountain View Campground Site #5 on bank of the Salmon River just east of Lowman, Idaho. It’s a serene end to a day that had its frustrating moments. After lunch we continued our drive north through the Sun Valley area and on through absolutely...
Our choice of Snow Bunny Drive-In Hamburgers for lunch was based solely on its oh so convenient location on the right side of the highway in Hailey, Idaho. We didn’t even bother to check reviews. But now it’s definitely on our personal map! It well deserves to be...
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.
