Wow! We got to see salmon run! We really did! Clued in by the ranger at the Olympic National Park Visitors Center that the coho and Chinook salmon are running. So fortified with Fish and Chips at Next Door Gastropub in Port Angeles, Washington, we headed to Salmon...
It's our third visit to Washington State and our third stay at the Olympic Peninsula/Port Angeles KOA. In 2008 it was an overnight stay in a Kamper Kabin. In 2016 we were here over Labor Day Weekend and rendezvoused with fellow T@B travelers Jay and Cathy. This time...
Again our first stop of the day was at the registration desk and this time we were successful at getting a place in Beach Campground for tonight. Since we were already in The Commons, we enjoyed a Breakfast Burrito and coffee at Reveille, a delightful eatery here at...
Today's adventure was to explore and learn more about Fort Worden and the Triangle of Fire defense of Puget Sound. Our first stop was actually at the registration desk in an ineffective attempt to book one more night here but then we proceeded to the Coast Artillery...
Fort Worden State Park, just outside Port Townsend, Washington was the location of a T@B gathering earlier this month. We contemplated making the drive from Spokane to Port Townsend in six days to join the festivities but didn't care to move that fast. Instead we...
Our plan to visit Gig Harbor and get another taste of the islands in Puget Sound was nearly abandoned when we thought the only way to get there was via the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. We just didn't care to brave Monday morning Tacoma traffic with a trailer in tow but...
There's a good reason why we chose to head this way on a weekend. When Becca and Mike moved to this area a year and a half ago we promised we'd visit and Sunday seemed a fine option for folks who work M-F. And it means that we have local guides for our visit to...
Seattle traffic is not our favorite thing. We decided that when we visited for the first time in 2008. And that time we weren't towing a trailer in the rain. We did deliberately choose Saturday morning for our trip south and routed ourselves east of the city on I-305....
See Park Video The campground at Washington Park in Anacortes looked like a great place to set up for three nights so we could explore a bit of the north Puget Sound area and indeed we took a trip south to Deception Pass, ran a couple of errands in downtown Anacortes,...
There was no way we were even going to try to resist this treat. We remembered stopping at Cascadian Farm on our last trip to Washington State and delighting in the delicious ice cream crafted on the farm as well as the glorious views and warm sunshine. We were...
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.

On our first visit to Cahokia Mounds State Park near Collinsville, Illinois, across the river from St Louis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were so impressed with the importance of this site we chose to join the Cahokia Mounds Museum Society to support ongoing...
Today has been a comedy of errors. Our plan had been to visit Cahokia then head on to our campsite near Carlyle, Illinois. All that would have been about four hours of driving. But as we were preparing to leave Fisherman’s Corner COE Campground near Moline, Illinois...
Last night we enjoyed our stay at Dam East-McNair Campground, near Carlyle, Illinois remembering our 2016 stay at Dam West, on the other end of the dam. So today's journey was a trek across the Illinois from just east of the Mississippi River to just over the Ohio...
