We enjoyed our stay at Deer Park golf course, a Harvest Host location in Deer Lodge, Montana. The washboard gravel road in was rough, but it was worth it. The parking area was spacious, peaceful and relaxing after a long drive. Karen relaxed in the shade of the warm 80º sunshine as I played nine…
We traveled from Edmonds, WA to Lake Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on a perfect sunny, 75 degree day with no wind to speak of. Our F350 tows our travel trailer so well! The power going up mountain passes and the exhaust brakes going downhill make it a pleasure to drive. And when the big trucks pass…
After the FarmJam concert, we drove from Colville to Sun Lakes where we stayed from Monday, September 1st through Thursday September 4th. It was super hot, over 100º every day, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves now that the kids had gone back to school. The lady at the office said one…
From Thursday, August 28 to Monday, September 1st, we attended FarmJam with Ed, Betty and Linda. FarmJam is a Country Rock festival held on a private farm in Colville, WA.

We spent four nights at Sunrise Pacific Beach RV Resort with Ed and Betty, August 17th – 21st. The Long Beach Kite Festival was fabulous! This was the first trip with our new diesel F350 tow vehicle. It’s a beast! It performed wonderfully and made towing our Keystone a much better experience. We got 13…

On Sunday, June 15th, Father’s Day, we got up early and left the house about 6:30am to begin our journey to South Beach State Park in Newport, Oregon. Ellen and Bernie were traveling from their home in Arizona to spend the summer in the Pacific Northwest. We both arrived in the afternoon to sunny weather,…
Day One, Seattle Weather: 75° and sunny. On Friday, May 30, we departed from Seattle pier 91 at the base of Magnolia in bright sunshine.

On Wednesday, May 7th, we boarded an Alaska Airlines flight to San Diego, CA, for Tegen’s Graduation from Marine Boot Camp. Ashley, Tim, Patrick and Emma traveled with us. We rented a Chrysler Pacifica, the cadillac of mini-vans, so that we could drive together. Once we arrived at the hotel, Town Suites by Marriott at…
For our first adventure in our 2023 Keystone Cougar we spent two nights up at Fort Casey on Whidbey Island. This is our fourth or fifth time camping here, and this time was special. Besides it being our first time in the new trailer, the weather was outstanding for April. It was 65 to 70°…
