Kerri had this nice area of state forest picked out, not far from Astoria, for us to check for some boondocking. From satellite view, it really appeared that this place was created with dozens and dozens of individual pullouts that are synonymous with dispersed camping. Unfortunately, the entire area ended up...
We arrived in in La Pine, Oregon safe and sound. The city, not large at all but tons of traffic, has an auto parts store to get the part for Big Blue. It’s a part that I have replaced one before, and I didn’t expect it to take too long...
We moved into the town of Ridgecrest for our final work day in the Trona area. The plan was to hit the community center for a proper shower (it had been a while) then hang out at the park for the work hours before peeling off to the local Moose...
We left Duluth, heading North, for our weekend tent-camping trip. We chose not to haul the trailer the two hour drive, instead making arrangements for it to stay back in the small town of Two Harbors at the local Moose Lodge. After our return, we stayed the work week in...
We left Ridgway State Park on Friday, right after work. 6PM is an odd time to leave a campground, I agree, but the benefit was that we got to drive 90 miles to Grand Junction that evening, cutting our Saturday drive in half. All we needed was a place to...
After four straight weeks of camping in the wild, a planned stop in civilization in what I now consider my home town; Longmont, Colorado. Longmont has been on the schedule for a long time, primarily because my son turn’s 18 years old this weekend, and graduates high school later this...
It’s been a long week of driving. Since leaving Astoria we set on driving each evening, after work, to arrive in the Bay Area by the weekend. Newport was just the beginning with numerous stops plotted out along the route. We could not drive far on any given day, but...
We met back up with the Malimish and UpInTheAirstream families at the Anchorage Moose Lodge for a few days of relaxing while we awaited the mail to be forwarded. As it turned out, this Moose Lodge was a very happenin’ place, with patrons at the bar from open to close...
I pulled into the Truth or Consequences Moose Lodge in the early afternoon. After some time meeting and greeting with my fellow Moose neighbors, I got some chores done before the big game. It was a potluck dinner with hundreds of members coming out to watch the game together. I...
