Tango and I are still hanging around Sequim and taking short trips around the area. My little town is full of stuff to do, including various festivals and the First Friday Art Walk. Besides the galleries, on First Friday other venues have bands. This month, I saw a wonderful bluegrass band (Pine Hearts) at the…
This spring, I did a big countdown to my summer adventure and hit the road. Less than two weeks later, I limped back into town after blowing a tire and replacing my RV batteries. It was not much of an effort or expense to come back. Most of the places on my list for May…
I have been thinking about giving up coffee. Coffee production is unsustainable and damages huge tracts of rain forests. One option is shade grown coffee from sustainable producers. However, I am also having digestive troubles with coffee. I think that I can no longer handle the acid component of coffee. I love the routine of…
In my last post, I wrote about my unexpected adventures: a flat tire and problem batteries. After I replaced the RV spare tire and the batteries, I noticed that the RV was not charging the new batteries either. It became clear that I needed to hook the RV up to shore power fast or I…
I expected in this post to be telling you all about kayaking in a sweet little lake. Ha, the reality of the last few days is far different than that idyllic scene! After leaving the coast, I drove into Sylvia Lake State Park at exactly 2 PM, the official check-in time. It was a heavily…
I am still at Kalaloch Campground in Olympic National Park. ONP is an unusual park because it does not have a main road into a central section. Instead, 101 circles around the park and you can enter via several roads. Each access road leads to something completely different. For example, the Hoh Rain Forest is…
Unlike last summer when I was tent camping in Alaska, I have a kitchen, everything I need for easy living on the road (stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, double sink). Sometimes access to fresh foods is a problem, especially if I stay for a week or more in a remote area. Also, I don’t want to…
Tango and I are holed up for 7 days at the beach! After wandering here and there, spending only a night or two in one place, we discovered that Kalaloch Campground in Olympic National Park, which is situated on a low bluff and overlooking the ocean. The campground does not start reservations until closer to…
We have not ventured far during our first week. Until this morning, I drove 50 miles and now another 70 ish to the Pacific Coast. Grand total: 120-130 miles. We stayed in Sequim for several days because of a big festival. I wanted to see all the art exhibits and attend a talk about painting…
Tango and I take off in 2 days and, of course, I am excited! The days have been warm (for the PNW) and sunny, perfect for moving things between the van, car, and RV. Some stuff in the car I will need for the summer (jackets, shower kit for the Y) so it gets moved…
