October 24 – 27, 2011 We had planned on staying longer at Tollbridge, but on Monday B and I woke up with ants in our pants and decided to hit the road and head to Bend. We’ve heard from many folks that Bend is awesome and would be a good place to live, so it’s [...]

October 21 – 24, 2011 When our spot at Memaloose was booked out for the weekend we set out for the shortest travel day ever, 24 miles, that’s my kind of day. The best part was Christine didn’t even tell me so I didn’t know until we cleared Hood River and I looked at the [...]
October 16 – 21, 2011 “Enough is enough! I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday trail!” (Samuel L. Jackson, adjusted for TV) That’s right. Snakes on our trail. 4 of them to be exact (although 1 was dead… but I’ll still count him.) 2 were confirmed Western Rattlesnakes. Our last experience [...]
October 9 – 16, 2011 We crossed into Oregon and drove through Astoria (HOME OF THE GOONIES!!!) before heading into Fort Stevens State Park where we would call home for the next week. Soon after setting up, B spotted Morton. Eyes locked, they stared at one another sizing each other up. B moved, Morton hid. [...]
October 6 – 9, 2011 Eyes were locked. Beady and black vs round and wide. “Why Hello there” said Morton to us in Horton, “I’ll just help myself to some food….” <scrreeeeach> rewind… let me doodooaloo doodooaloo Waynes World it back to the start. It is the middle of the night and Brent wakes up [...]
October 2 – 6, 2011 Cougars in the area! No, not the dating kind altho we did see a fantastically funny commercial while watching tv for a dating site in Canada for them. A big ole cougar had been spotted at the park and so when B ventured out at 11 PM to check out [...]
September 29 – October 2, 2011 We rolled into Manchester State Park closing in on sunset. After setting up easily (yaaay for level spots) we grabbed a beer and took a stroll. While moseying around we were lucky to catch Mt Rainier painted pink (every day thereafter we didn’t see its top or much of [...]
September 29, 2011 So we knew our next stay was going to be somewhere that we could take a day trip into Seattle. Perused the map and available state parks, ferry routes, and after deciding we might want to take a quick day trip out to see Mt Rainier, we decided driving through Seattle would [...]
September 24 – 29, 2011 After the long drive we had to get to Birch Bay from Jasper, we were happy that it was a short trip over to Deception Pass (only about 65 miles.) There was a motorcycle fest going on that day in Anacortes so while there were lots of bikes on the [...]
September 21 – 24, 2011 From Jasper to Birch Bay State Park in WA is ~800km / ~500 miles. After looking at the map saw a couple spots that we could have a layover, but B had other ideas. He was like the energizer bunny. He kept driving and driving; even ate his lunch while [...]
