We had the weekend and a few of the following weekdays to burn before arriving for our reservations at a RV Resort outside of Seattle. We were really just going to take it easy during these days after another run into town for supplies and laundry. It would be our...
Finally, after a long weekend, we broke free of the Astoria area. We didn’t make it far though, only a half-hour or so across the border into Washington. Actually, we were further North last week when we stayed at the Moose Lodge in Ocean Park, but we were content to...
At some point during the past few weeks, each of our dogs gained a year in age. We try to keep this from the pups so they do not expect any big parties or anything like that. Since neither read this blog… Moose, now five years old, has slowed down noticeably...
We have been lingering near Astoria because Kerri had a hair appointment on Saturday morning. It also gave me the opportunity to offload our just-replaced stove/oven. Saturday officially marks Big Blue’s return to oven-less-ness – back to just a two burner stove. After a few hours of waiting around in...
We did not stay the entire week at the Moose lodge, opting to move mid week. We moved just a dozen miles South to visit with the Watsons again (not our first time this year) who were camped nearby. A meetup in town at the Shelburne – the oldest operating...
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...
Oregon has some great state forests which are treated very similarly to their bigger brother, the national forests – at least when it comes to their allowance of dispersed camping. We needed a place to spend our work week again, so Kerri set her keen eye to work on the...
As we drove up the coastal highway we were just about to pass Cape Lookout State Park. Although the sign was making a very clear statement with the “Campground Full” sign out, we popped in anyway. Pulling up to the Ranger station I inquired if there was a cancellation in...
It’s been a while since we have spent a night at a roadside rest area, but after leaving our forest site and driving for hours to pickup water and trying to find a spot to crash for the night, we settled on the nice rest area just south of Tillamook,...
Clean and fresh, we left civilization in pursuit of a spot to spend the work week… now, I don’t know if any of you have been keeping track, but since leaving the Moose Lodge in La Pine, we have camped in a different nearly every single night. Only once, at...
