Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
We headed north from Bend with our destination Walla Walla, WA to stay at the Blue Valley RV Park. We wanted to stop in this area because of the big bold red wines and it was our intentions to try a lot of wineries (apparently Walla Walla is also known Read more…
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…

We left Willow Springs and headed to Whistler where the Winter Olympics were held in 2010. We knew that we were in for a huge climb to get up into the mountains where the ski resort was. There were a lot of switchbacks, a lot of ups and a lot 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…
