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...

Washington
Into Port Townsend
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...
Triangle of Fire
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...
Point Wilson Light
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...
Gig Harbor
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...
Olympia
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...
Nisqually Bound
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....
Anacortes
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,...
Cascadian Farm Roadside Stand
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...
The “American Alps”
See Best Park Ever Video See Park Video This has been our second stay at Newhalem Campground in North Cascades National Park in Washington State. This time we stayed three nights in Site A6 and we still didn't have enough time to explore the area. Next time...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens
London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
Imperial War Museum
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
