We found it! We're staying the two weekend nights at the KOA in Eureka CA. Started Saturday with brunch at The Hangar Cafe, a little hole in the wall at the municipal airport. Great corned beef hash! Then found a little barbershop and Steve got a haircut. Anyone...
Even as we are decamping here in Burlington Campground we are scouting out the best campsites for our next visit. Perhaps it will be 50, just adjacent to where we slept last night. It's got a great tree with a goose pen, meaning it has been hollowed out by a series of...
Two geocaches and a third trip to The Chimney Tree Grill... Over the last couple of years we have tagged along on some of Lou's geocache adventures in New Orleans, Boston, and Bedford. We finally signed up and she assisted us on our first find in Half Moon Bay. Today...
A little off the beaten path we found Rockefeller Loop, another grove of ancient trees but fewer tourists. For a while we had it to ourselves. Here oxalis grows on the forest floor like a lush green carpet. We got off the loop trail to follow the Burlington Trail for...
Just off The Avenue of Giants is Founder's Grove with a nice interpreted nature trail and a docent. This place is dedicated to the men who fought to save the remaining ancient Redwoods beginning in the early part of the twentieth century. Only a very small percentage...
One of the things we have learned this trip is limits of the T@B refrigerator. If we are off grid for only one night we are fine as long as we turn it off overnight. We're also good running the fridge when using the solar panels for several hours a day and turning off...
We scored! Back in 2008 when we were here in The Redwoods we camped in a grove of redwoods in our little tent. We remembered that it was in one of the state parks along The Avenue of the Giants but we couldn't remember which campground. Yesterday we visited three...
Trying to find a restaurant for a birthday dinner turned into an adventure in and of itself. It wasn't until the third try that we found folks we really wanted to serve us. For a while it seemed as if the answer to Paul Mc Cartney's query, "Will you still feed me,...
After catching on laundry, we left Petaluma this morning and headed up US-101 and marveled at the vineyards and the green and gold hills. We also wondered if this six lane divided highway was the road that we remembered wending it's way through the giant redwoods. As...
We two immersed ourselves in soothing waters at Watercourse Way again this morning. Then Karen walked out to meet Lou and savor a cup of jasmine tea while Steve stayed and enjoyed a massage. It's a nice relaxing way to enjoy one of the comforts of our mountain house...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Our stop in Kailua Bay for a one day visit to the Big Island of Hawaii gave us the opportunity to take an excursion to the Punalu’u Black Sand Beach as well as Volcano House, Nāhuku Lava Tube, and Kīlauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park!
On our first day in Hawaii we did a tour highlighting the Hawaiian monarchy and the New England missionaries that fostered the melding of Hawaiian and European cultures. It was a great way to celebrate our first visit to the 50th State and our 50th State to visit.
Each of our trips to San Francisco have featured a walkabout and this one’s no exception. This time it featured a fabulous meal at Scoma’s.
