Salt Creek State Park
Last week we hung out at Salt Creek Campground in the Salt Creek Recreation Area. It was a bit of an emergency location to camp as the spot chosen to boondock nearby could not take Kerri’s 27 foot trailer.

Kayaking Lake Crescent
Who wouldn’t take the opportunity to kayak in any of our National Parks? Kerri and I jumped at the opportunity the same day we arrived in the Port Angeles. We drove to Lake Crescent, part of Olympic National Park, and set out for what was to be a paddle under...
Deception Pass State Park
We stayed this past week at Deception Pass State Park on the Northern Washington coastline. Deception Pass is an extremely picturesque area of old-growth forest in what is really a pretty populated area of Whidbey Island.

No way were we going to take the trailer down 60 miles of rutted and washboard dirt road, so instead we found a nice free campground right outside of Chitina to call home base. From here we took the truck into the National Park to visit McCarthy and Kennecott. It...
Valdez Alaska

Lu-Lu Belle glacier tour
On Wednesday Kerri and I spent the day out at sea… sort of. We came to Valdez primarily to take the Lu-Lu Belle glacier tour which had been recommended by so many. Captain Fred has been taking people on this tour, and on this very boat (the Lu-Lu Belle) since...
