Continuous Travelers Explore The Pygmy Forest
It’s been six weeks since escrow closed on our Oregon home, and just two weeks since we left Southern Oregon and headed south. We haven’t made it very far, but that’s okay. There is no timetable. We’re enjoying an extended stay along the coast of Mendocino, taking full advantage of a stretch of beautifully sunny…

Continuous Travelers Hit The Road
With the exception of our two camp hosts, we’ve outlasted every other camper who has pulled in for a night…or two…or three at Emigrant Lake. While our 2-week stay has far exceeded our expectations, we are now in danger of overstaying our welcome. With our brand new driver licenses tucked safely in our wallets, the…

Continuous Travelers
We continue to camp out in Southern Oregon while the last “loose end” issue is completed. We opted to keep our Oregon residency (for now) for a variety of reasons, but lacked a necessary Oregon mailing address. After Reg made numerous phone calls to a variety of agencies and businesses, we chose to contract with…

Never Say Never
Three years ago, while traveling up the East Coast, we made an impulsive decision to list our Ashland townhome for sale. As we towed our trailer north to Maine, we got caught up in the “what ifs” of living in a completely different part of the country. Unfortunately, by the time our home hit the…

Olympic National Park – Sol Duc Falls
Sol Duc Falls, our destination of the day, is described as one of the top waterfalls in Olympic National Park. According to the Peninsula Daily News, “Sol Duc” comes from the Native American Quileute language and translates as “sparkling waters” or “magic”waters.” We had high hope for our day.A 14-mile drive off Highway 101 (west…

Hurricane Ridge Blew Us Away
Tuesday was another early morning for us. The plan was to drive into Olympic National Park and snag a parking spot up at Hurricane Ridge, allowing us to hike to the top of Hurricane Hill. Reg had read that parking could be competitive. The National Park service lists Hurricane Ridge as the most easily accessed…

Cape Flattery
Cape Flattery is the northwesternmost point of the contiguous United States. It’s located on the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean. We may never be back this way again, so visiting the cape was just too tempting for us to pass up. We packed a lunch and off…

Olympic National Park – Coastal Walks
We chose to do the Third Beach hike first. Parking is limited due to the popularity of this trail with backpackers who have multiple day permits. Day hikers tend to get what’s left. For that reason, we chose to walk to the trailhead along a paved path from our campsite, turning the 1.8-mile walk into…

Olympic National Park – Early To Rise
We’ve spent the last six nights along the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula at an RV park sandwiched between coastal strips of Olympic National Park. Over the years, we’ve canceled several trips to the park (when life interfered), so we’ve been pretty excited to finally be here.Olympic National Park encompasses nearly a million acres…
