Pendleton Mills! One of only four large scale woolen mills in the country. And they offer factory tours Monday through Friday! It seems to be a well kept secret but we found the information on the company website. It's one of the reasons we stayed an extra night at...
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...
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...
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...
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.

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
