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...
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...
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...
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...
