Following out first official viewing of a sailboat we had to settle in for a few days before our next viewing in Seattle. Luckily, we didn’t have to travel far with Penrose State Park only a few miles from us. Penrose is a quiet little campground – at least this time of...
We left Port Townsend for our second time in a month. Kerri, as usual, had a few pins on a map that we wanted to see, but this time the pins were of a different species than before. Normally we are off to scout, and camp, some random dirt road...
Kerri had been talking up a campground for a few days. She stayed once back in 2014 – just a few months before we met – and liked it. The plan was to settle into the South Beach Campground along the coast for the two final nights in our work...
Big Blue has been getting a workout this week. Not one, not two, not three, but five different locations in and around the Hoh rain forest area of Olympic National Park. It all started with getting out of town for the Labor Day weekend. To avoid the crowds we didn’t...
The week’s stay in PT consisted of the usual work-week activities, of course. We were also able to walk into town to spend our first work morning drinking our brew with a view looking out over the marina. All other mornings I could not get Kerri out of bed early...
OK, so this may sound weird, but the last two weeks were all decided on this week’s reservation in Port Townsend. The dates that we could get booked at the Point Harbor Marina decided all the other; including my son’s visit and everything leading up to it. It has been...
Two hours away from Seattle – way out at the tip on a little island – is Fort Flagler State Park. This would be our home for the next few days to avoid the heat wave coming into the greater Seattle area. We chose this park partly because of it’s...
With my son in town for a visit, the three of us (and two dogs) piled into the van and took off for the mount – Mount Rainier to be exact. Although I have had a single day-trip into the park back in 2013, Kerri had not been to Mount...
It is the big question isn’t it? Everyone wants to know how to make money while living in a van. In the beginning, I was lucky enough that I had regular income that financed my life on the road. I had my own online business that was created years before...
Early on a Thursday morning we packed up and left our cozy but shady spot in Bruceport. By the end of that day we needed to arrive at a reserved RV Resort camp site, 3 hours away. You might be asking, why are they camping an hour out of Seattle...
