We left the Oregon Coast and headed inland with our destination being Sun Outdoors Bend. The trip over was a bit gnarly through the mountains: Once we crossed the gap we saw the wildfire smoke. Not too bad, but still. The Sun Outdoors Bend used to be called Crown Point Read more…
Katrina and I had saw this resort a couple of years ago driving down the 101 (Pacific Coast Highway). It is privately owned and only has six sites. The ownership consists of quarter shares; therefore there are 24 opportunities for ownership. The only way that you can stay there without Read more…
After the night in the Wally World parking lot we headed down to Silver Creek, WA and stayed at the Harmony Lakeside RV Park. We picked this location because it was situated about halfway between Mount St. Helens and Mount Reiner and we thought that we could do some hiking Read more…
Now that we are back in the lower 48 states, I thought that it would be interesting to summarize the types and amounts of wild animals that we saw going through Canada, into Alaska and then back into Canada again. I’ll also add some pictures to add some color (literally). Read more…
We got down to the Black Ball Ferry a little over two hours early. US Border Control needed us there 1.5 hours ahead of time. No problem with gaining access to the ferry as our passports were valid. It was very scary loading onto the ferry through the side door: Read more…

Short day of driving as we were only on the road for about 4.5 hours. The scenery was very similar to the past few days. Again we didn’t see any wildlife. Jeff and Molli and us seem to be leap frogging each other on our quest for civilization, we haven’t Read more…
Well someone turned the wildlife spigot off, haven’t seen an animal at all along the way, unless you want to count a mother duck with four goslings trying to cross the street. Bear was watching all day as well and he didn’t see anything either: Did get some pictures of Read more…
We left the Continental Divide and continued to head south without a real destination in mind. It was an interesting drive and I’m glad that we had given ourselves time to meander. First off we drove to Nugget City (really not a city) on the ALCAN heading to the Cassiar Read more…
