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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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!...
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...
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...
There's nothing like sitting on an ancient giant tree on a rocky shore watching Pacific waves crashing near our feet and dark clouds scuttling overhead while writing a blog. There might be a glorious sunset this evening. We might not want to wait out in the cold to...
Even before we ventured into the town of Sequim, Washington this afternoon we had success in cleaning, dejunking, and organizing our under the sink cabinet. Actually we didn't succeed in getting haircuts at Great Clips in town but that freed us to head on downtown. At...

On Monday when we locked the door, left the key, and drove away from our mountain house we thought things were settling down. Little did we realize that life would continue to be a whirlwind for sometime yet. Here we are without a bed of our own and no sense yet of...
Life is an Adventure! Today we've taken a huge step in moving on to the next chapter in our lives. If all goes according to plan the sale of our mountain house will be complete within forty-eight hours. This morning we tucked the last few items into our truck, did a...
We’ve just celebrated our Forty-Ninth Anniversary in western Massachusetts. We opted to linger a while longer with our trailer parked in Greg’s driveway. It’s a salubrious time of year here. For dinner on our anniversary we asked Greg to join us for drinks and dinner...
