Kevin, our host at the Cascade Locks KOA, as we were checking in for our stay on #127, gave us an overview of things to do in the area, what's currently unavailable due to last year's fire, what route to take to various places since much of US-30 is now closed. He...

Reunion in Battle Ground
These are friendships forged back in 1970 at St Petersburg Junior College and cemented at University of South Florida. With George and Delores making their home now in Vancouver, Washington our opportunities to visit are infrequent and oh so precious. Today they made...
Tea on the Beach
One of the delights of travel with our T@B 400 behind us is that we carry all the facilities we need for a little rest stop. This morning we pulled off WA-101 just north of Kalaloch and made ourselves some tea while admiring the beauty of Washington State's Wild...
Leaving Mora
See Olympic Park Intro Video See Olympic NP Videos It's been a fabulous stay on #19 in Mora Campground. We chose Mora not only for its proximity to Rialto Beach but also for its National Park aesthetic and its affordability, only $10 per night with our Senior Pass!...
Hole in the Wall
With a degree of trepidation we set out this morning to hike to Hole in the Wall from the Rialto Beach parking lot, in Olympic National Park on Washington State's Pacific Coast. It's only two miles each way. Oh yeah, it's through beach rock and sand. How will the...
Sunset Called
Sunset at Rialto seemed too good an opportunity to pass up, but we didn't stay on the beach the whole time. Instead we made the nine minute drive to the Three Rivers Resort Restaurant for some Halibut Fish & Chips. The food was good but the references to The...
Rialto
There's nothing like sitting on an ancient giant tree on a rocky shore watching Pacific waves crashing near our feet and dark clouds scuttling overhead while writing a blog. There might be a glorious sunset this evening. We might not want to wait out in the cold to...
Success in Sequim
Even before we ventured into the town of Sequim, Washington this afternoon we had success in cleaning, dejunking, and organizing our under the sink cabinet. Actually we didn't succeed in getting haircuts at Great Clips in town but that freed us to head on downtown. At...
Salmon Run
Wow! We got to see salmon run! We really did! Clued in by the ranger at the Olympic National Park Visitors Center that the coho and Chinook salmon are running. So fortified with Fish and Chips at Next Door Gastropub in Port Angeles, Washington, we headed to Salmon...
OPPA KOA Again
It's our third visit to Washington State and our third stay at the Olympic Peninsula/Port Angeles KOA. In 2008 it was an overnight stay in a Kamper Kabin. In 2016 we were here over Labor Day Weekend and rendezvoused with fellow T@B travelers Jay and Cathy. This time...
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.
