David and Cathy graciously invited us to visit their home on Bear Lake near Belfair. We enjoyed a weekend of fun conversation while exploring the Olympic Peninsula. We saw so many beautiful new places. Some of our favorites were: Seabeck Lake Cushman Hama Hama Twanoh Tahuya Big Creek Scenic Beach Got some great ideas of…
Ed and Betty invited us to join them at Long Beach for the 2022 International Kite Festival. We stayed at Marv and Terri’s place, on a little inlet, about 20 – 25 minutes from where the festival is held. For Karen and I, it was the first time we experienced the Kite Festival, so many…
Don and Ann invited us to join them once again at their annual T-Fest (Tequila Fest) event at Nine Mile, WA. It’s a family reunion of sorts. Karen dropped me off at Moses Lake, where I joined Don and Jim to play golf at Moses Pointe. Always a fun course to play. And it happened…
After nearly 7 weeks on the road, we arrived back home on the 4th of July. What a trip! We saw so many new places and made so many new memories. We traveled 8,218 miles, spent $3,588 in gas and crossed 22 states: Washington Idaho Montana Utah Arizona New Mexico Texas Louisiana Mississippi Alabama Georgia…
Our last stop on our 2022 cross country trip was where we began on May 20th, at Nine Mile Falls, WA with Don and Ann. Again, we arrived during a thunderstorm, and got set up. We parked in the same spot as last time and got level quickly. Ann was there to greet us and…

We had a brief but wonderful stay at the Eaglerock Golf Course in Billings, Montana, a Harvest Host location. On the way, we drove through Sturgis. We are still a few weeks ahead of the annual motorcycle rally, but it was still fun to drive though. Hard to believe that 750,000 people can fit into…
We stayed two days in Rapid City, SD. On the way there we stopped and had lunch at Wall Drug (Now we know where the hell it is!). It was really fun to walk through the town, visit all the shops and just take it all in. After getting settled at the Rapid City KOA,…
It was a long but very pleasant drive to the Badlands from Omaha. The scenery on the way there was just stunning, low rolling hills of lush green vegetation, cows in the pastures, and you could see for miles and miles. We arrived and got set up, a process which is now becoming much more…
Sheila, Leonard’s Mom, invited us to stay at her place in Omaha, Nebraska. (Leonard is our niece Courtney’s husband.) We drove through three states to get there: Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. Sheila and her sister Peggy were such gracious hosts. We had so much fun! I can’t believe how much we packed into 36 hours! During…
