We woke up at 4am, left the distillery at 5am. It was dark, perfect for the neon on Route 66. We saw some nostalgic places before the sun came up. Kingman, AZ to Tucumcari, NM was the best drive so far, 75 degrees and no rain all day! Lot’s of cactus. We felt like high…
Up at 4am, Steve made a U-turn in the parking lot of the winery at 4:50am to start our day. Karen drove through torrential rain and darkness for the first three hours. We had no idea the weather in northern Nevada would be so intense, until we saw a sign that said “Be prepared for…
We left Indian John Hill rest stop at 5:45am and Karen drove through dense fog and darkness for the first couple of hours. We took Highway 82 towards Yakima, crossed into NE Oregon and took Highway 84 into Idaho. Surprisingly, we drove past Bretz RV & Marine in Boise Idaho, the dealer that sold our…
Karen got off early and we left Thursday night instead of Friday morning due to an impending snow storm in the pass. We were met with torrential rain on the way up the pass, but were happy to get out ahead of Friday’s storm. We slept a few hours at the Indian John Hill rest…
For Karen’s birthday weekend, we went back to Fort Casey again, this time with our good friends Ed and Betty. We had site 9 and they had site 10. Both of them were dry sites, no water or shore power, but we had our Jackery! This time it only took 30 minutes to set up…
Our 2nd outing was spent at beautiful Fort Casey, WA, January 22nd – 24th. The setting was remarkable, right on the water, close to the ferry terminal, with an expansive view of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains. The weather was a carbon copy of our first outing, clear and cold, never getting above 40…
We stayed at the Quarry Pond Campground, Deception Pass, WA for our first outing. It was cold, never got above 38 degrees, but it was beautiful. Saturday we went for a long bike ride through the main Deception Pass Campground which was closed for the winter. There were a fair number of people on the…
We spent our first night in the trailer on December 4th. We’re still adjusting to the smaller space, and the heater woke us up off and on, but it was a fun first experience.
We found our future travel trailer on Facebook Marketplace. It had just been listed three hours before and fortunately we were the first to see it. On Friday, November 20th, we drove down to Woodland, WA to pick it up with our good friend David. David and Ed became our “trailer advisors”.
