Daily updates to the traveling Busse Bus
On the way down to Eureka, we were able to drive through the Redwoods National Forest even in the Busse Bus although it was a bit difficult to pull over and take the sights in with the rig. Believe me when I tell you that Redwood trees are huge! No, Read more…
We got to see the sand dunes in Siuslaw National Forest and other beautiful views on our way down to Klamath: Now you know you are getting older when you pull into your campground and find out that you forgot to actually book it. Then taking a look at your Read more…
Spending the holiday weekend with Darin and Lisa in their home that they purchased last year in Lincoln City, OR. Beautiful area with cool breezes, it’s easy to see why they picked this location to get away the heat of the Florida summer sun. Our dogs really enjoyed playing with Read more…
We wanted to explore Seattle and take in all the sights. Not likely unless we were there for a lot longer than the three days. We did, however, get to see these: Pike Place market which houses seafood, vegetable, fruit, flower and craft shops. The sights and smells are different Read more…
