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...

OUR VERY
LATEST
Rally in the Adirondacks
Thanks to the organizational skills of Mandy & Kgreat weekend of endrick, the amazing support of their team, and the sponsorship of nüCamp RV we enjoyed a great weekend of camaraderie and fun at the Northeast Rally. Gathering with fellow teardrop aficionados is always an enriching experience and this gathering in the Adirondacks was no exception.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Slow Journey Home
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
