As we made our decision to begin trekking east today we set our sights on Grants Pass, Oregon in the southwestern part of the state for an overnight. We arrived at Schroeder County Park mid afternoon, chose the nicely hedged and shaded Site 23, and self registered....
For the past week we've lingered and savored the joys of the California Redwoods and beaches. Then this morning before we broke camp at Eureka, California, we sat down with maps and apps to see what it will take to enjoy an eighteen day journey to Bloomington. It's...
Staying one more day in the Eureka area gave us a chance to discover another of the incredible beaches near Trinidad, California. This one had a quite steep trail with some steps and a log ladder at the bottom. We came equipped with a beach blanket allowing us to plop...
Every time we visit the Eureka, California area we discover something new. In 2008 we just whizzed through town but were taken by the Victorian architecture. In 2014 we discovered the beaches at Trinidad. With Lou in 2016 we explored downtown. Today we headed out to...
Heading north along the Avenue of the Giants just south of Pepperwood we knew we'd pass the Flood Plain Produce stand where we'd gotten some incredible homemade Blackberry Popsicles yesterday. We couldn't resist the temptation to stop and get some more to enjoy as we...
Ranger Shanna was our guide today as we and Burlington Camp Host Karen trekked through the Drury-Chaney Grove just south of the town of Pepperwood, California. This grove is awesome. Since her three visitors all have a basic knowledge of Redwood biology, Shanna...
The Redwoods called and we listened. We came home to Burlington. It's our fourth stay in this magical grove and in fact our second stay on Site 53. Ever since we pitched a tiny tent under these glorious trees in 2008, Burlington has had a special place in our hearts....
One of the delights of Burlington Campground is that it is immediately adjacent to the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitors Center. We took advantage of the proximity this afternoon to be the only two visitors on Ranger Codi's interpretive talk along the Gould Grove...
It was a great day to just poke around on The Avenue of the Giants between Richardson Grove south of Benbow north to Myers Flat. It's a trip down memory lane. We first traveled this stretching 2008 but it was in 2014 that we lingered here and first started geocaching....
Three and a half hours north of San Francisco, we're in California Redwoods country. In fact we're staying at the Historic Benbow Inn & Resort. More accurately, we're in the smallest campsite available at the Benbow KOA that's part of the overall complex. Our site...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours!

It’s been an amazing week of sharing adventures with Amanda as well as trotting off on our own to see some “must sees” as well as more obscure and out of the way spots in this amazing capitol city.

We’ve been celebrating all year, partied with family and friends in May, and most recently sailed across the Atlantic to celebrate our 50th Anniversary today here in London, England.
