Brookings to White City to Lakeview
October 30, 2017 Heading back home, across the country, we left Brookings and drove through the Redwoods National Park on our way to Grant’s Pass and on to White City. 199 is a beautiful drive along the Smith River. My new Pickup Pack was leaking water badly, so I called Highway Products to see if…

The Oregon Coast
October 28, 2017 We drove north from Umpqua Lighthouse Campground to Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. I had been there in July and liked it very much. It is a beautiful area with the creek running through and the river across the street. Little hills with changing leaf colors were shrouded with fog. Ducks, geese…

AM Solar and Highway 101
October 27, 2017 The solar system has not been performing right since we had a power problem back in August. I called AM Solar in Springfield, Oregon and talked to a technician named Mitchell. We agreed the best way was to bring it in. I was delighted they could see me. I didn’t think it…

Move to Pedder Bay Campground
October 13, 2017 As we were getting ready to leave, Lonnie drove past. We hustled out to give her a bottle of wine as a thanks for all the help she had been and for the great job she does with the campground. She told us about carrying her 3-year-old granddaughter up the trail as…

McCall to Lewiston
September 19, 2017 It is a beautiful drive with a variety of terrains along Rt. 95. At Riggins it follows the great Salmon River. Riggins is a cute little village with a bunch of river guiding companies. It was cold and rainy, so we opted not to stay in Riggins and float the Salmon. Maybe…

Boise
September 14, 2017 Martha and I spent two days exploring a bit of Boise. We walked and biked the great riverside trail along the Boise River. What other city has a river running through it where people fish for trout? We explored downtown, shopping and had a nice lunch at Wild Root. In the evening…

Castlegar to Cranbrook
August 25, 2017 Everyone except Rod told us to take the ferry across Kootenay Lake instead of crossing the big mountain at Salmo. As we checked out of Castlegar RV Park, Kim recommended taking the ferry. I’m sure the truck would do the job fine, but it is such a beautiful drive down the other…

Driving Across America on I-70 and I-80
Monday, July 10 – 14, 2017 Leaving Columbus, Ohio in the early morning rain, it was a bit hectic making the right turns in heavier traffic than I expected at 6:30. Once I got on I70, things settled out. Ohio and Indiana are beautiful country. Just turn the music on, set cruise control and relax.…
