Last time we were in the area we just whizzed past Sequim barely noticing it but that along with a conversation with a cousin, it did put the place on our mental map. Today it was our destination. We started with haircuts at Great Clips then the Museum & Arts...
When Dave and the girls called Wednesday night with Anniversary best wishes, they asked if we'd gotten our Steak and Eggs. It's our traditional September 1st breakfast. But there's only one restaurant at Kalaloch Beach, at the lodge, and they don't have Steak and Eggs...
And when the rain let up enough, who could resist one more sunset stroll on Kalaloch Beach?
Early this morning we opted to skip the early morning Ranger Talk on the beach thinking we'd catch it tomorrow before we pack up. Then as we were cleaning up after breakfast the rain started. We tucked the generator in under the T@B for shelter then we tucked...
We opted to stay put most of the day. Set up chairs in the woods behind the T@B and just relaxed. Bits of sun filtered in once in a while but mostly the day was gray. We did some walking around the campground but nothing strenuous. Late in the afternoon we climbed...
Awakening this morning to gray skies, we figured this must be the first day of winter. So grateful we had the opportunity to visit Rainier in the sunshine! As we were preparing to depart three deer came through a neighboring site on their breakfast circuit. From Alder...
See Mount Rainer Experiences Video See Park Video The day's possibilities was our first thoughts as we awakened today. We explored Alder Lake Park a bit then made arrangements to extend our stay by one day and visit Mount Rainier on this gloriously beautiful day. Back...
As it turns out our angst about the traffic we would encounter in our drive past the Seattle area was for naught. Of course the fact that we traveled south on the I-405 bypass on a Sunday morning was important in avoiding traffic craziness. Â Fascinated with views of...
It's great to have a plan but sometimes it's better to change plans. Our plan had been to stay at Riverside just one night but this morning we looked at the maps, calculated some travel times and decided to stay here one more night so that we could explore a bit of...
For those of us that travel by the seats of our pants, weekends in high season present a challenge. We try to identify campgrounds that might be less popular and to arrive early in the afternoon. Today we headed west from Newhalem, stopped at the Cascadian Farm...
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.

Hooray! We were able to resume our treasured tradition of hosting Deck Day every Memorial Day. Good citizenship and public health concerns caused us to cancel in 2020 and 2021, but now we're back on track for the twenty-ninth version of this gathering of friends and...
It was a quick visit with family, just Thursday evening to Saturday morning, but it was packed with satisfying moments. We had a chance for some quiet conversations with Riley & Peyton talking about their upcoming plans and while they were at school, rehearsal,...
West Virginia is along our route today as we trek north for a quick visit to Ohio to watch granddaughters dance this weekend. As always we were marveling at the landscape and this time really delighted in the Redbud trees blooming at the edge of the woods all along...
