We drove through Joshua Tree National Park on our way to Quartzsite, stopping a couple of times to take in the Joshua Trees and cool rock formations. We arrived at the Holiday Palms RV Resort on Friday around 1pm and quickly got set up in about 1/2 hour, including disconnecting the truck from the trailer,…
The drive down HWY 99 was shared with lots of big trucks. We made a couple of stops along the way to dump the gray and black tanks and fill the propane. We only needed two gallons of propane. We arrived at Slash X Ranch, another Harvest Host location, and found that the restaurant is…
With the Siskyous in our rearview mirror, we drove for five hours on mostly level terrain, braving the trucks and heavily worn pavement. We stopped at two gas stations along the way, paying $4.59 a gallon, California prices, making our way to Vista Ranch. After arriving we bought a nice bottle of wine, sat in…
We woke up in thick fog which quickly burned off to provide another beautiful day for a drive over Grant’s Pass and the Siskiyous, including a drive by Mount Shasta. When we arrived at the Gold Hills golf course, a Harvest Host location, in the early afternoon, about 2pm. We quickly set up and Steve…
We left in the dark at 6am in order to avoid Seattle traffic. It worked great and we even avoided rush hour traffic in Tacoma and Olympia. Nice! While at a rest stop we discovered an oversight in our plan. The vineyard we were going to stay at could not accommodate anything larger than 30…

So, after two cross-country trips to North Carolina, one to Missouri and several to California and Arizona, we’ve come full circle. This time…
We got up before sunrise on the day of MacKenzie’s wedding and drove the 260 miles from Pasco to McMinnville, arriving about 12 noon, in plenty of time for the 4pm wedding. Olde Stone Village RV park was a first-rate place to stay! Extremely clean, well-managed and located right next door to the Evergreen Aviation…
We stopped for a quick overnight stay in Pasco, on our way to McKenzie’s wedding in McMinnville, OR. It was our third stay at this KOA and it really helped to cut down the drive to Oregon the next morning, which commenced at the crack of dawn on Saturday, October 7th.
We left for Uncle Lee’s Rosary and Funeral on Thursday, October 5th. The morning was foggy until the top of the pass, then it rapidly cleared and became a beautiful sunny drive. We arrived at noon and they allowed us to check in early at the Spokane Valley KOA. We quickly got set up and…
