T minus 31 days – shake out the bugs trip

Cle elum was our destination last weekend for the first of the season trailer trip. Sun blessed all the days of our 3 day trip over the mountain. We’ve stayed here once before – Whispering Pines RV – it’s a nice spot, train & highway noise is minimal. The park continues to expand and make

T minus 43 days

Well, trailer prep is in full swing around here for the last few weeks. Since we have had only two short weekend trips last fall with this new trailer before winter hit, we’ve had very little time to do much more than plan what to do. Outside, Tyler has been hard at work on identifying

Summer is coming!

March 24, 2024 No trips in March but dewinterizing has been happening over the last few weekends. Mods that we needed to do on the new trailer have been piling up all winter as had the pile of supplies for them. I have newly cut reflective, insulated panels for windows to give a final fit

October 2024 Seaside, OR It’s been 13 years since we’ve been to this part of the Oregon Coast. Last time we were here, we rented a house south of here which turned out to smell like cat pee in every room & we drove into a rainy Seaside to escape the smell and wound up

Leavenworth, October 2023

Nothing like warm fall weather in Leavenworth for Oktoberfest. We enjoyed the tri colored fall trees on the drive from Roslyn to Leavenworth. Revvy has gotten used to being on Kellan’s lap while in the car. He’s not quite a car dog yet, he’s stopped whining but pants for a lot of the drive. He

Home & Settled

Oh my goodness, there is an endless amount of STUFF to do at home. Bigger space, normal life appointments, catching up and cleaning up. Life is so much simpler on the road when all you have to do is exist, play, explore and keep up a 300 sq. foot trailer. The drive from Squamish to

Day 30, Squamish

2 nights of vacay left. Sigh. Gorgeous day in Squamish today but it started off needing the heat on this morning. the rains yesterday really cooled things off and they need the rain so bad, fire potential is rated at extremes up here. The forests are bone dry. Let’s start with yesterday. Had awesome downpours

Day 28, Squamish, BC

When we were in Alberta all the signs were in English and French. Road signs, grocery signs… I took 3 years of formal French in high school and I sucked at it. I know so much more Spanish these days but I’m out of my element with French. When we crossed over into British Columbia,

Day 26, Whistler

The drive to Whistler from Pemberton, a whole 45 minutes was scenic and mellow. You catch stunning views of Whistler mountain and other peaks in the Fitzsimmons range, all of which are part of the Pacific Coast Range. I always assumed all these mountains were part of the Cascade Range, learned something new. These mountains

Day 24, Pemberton/Nairn Falls

Today was a fun day. We started the day with our favorite banana chocolate chip pancakes on the grill skillet. We got to eat outside which was a treat. The morning was overcast but in the low 70s. Sun came out later. Was a great morning for a hike. Kellan and I hiked 3km to
