To sum up my thoughts after two years on the road…grateful. Then We moved out of our apartment and into our travel trailer on July 23, 2023. Our lease was up, and it made sense. We had been purging and donating our belongings for months leading up to our launch. We had also acquired our Read more

The first time we went through New Mexico was across from the east. This time we did a quick north-south tour.

From Beverly Beach State Park we headed north to Fort Stevens State Park (or Elk Land, Elk Island, Elkizona, Elkville, Elkopolous). We gracefully dodged elk land mines, watched a man and his dog get chased by an elk behind our camper, saw a 235-foot-tall rock on the beach, explored Fort Stevens, Astoria, Cape Disappointment and Read more

Six days in the Newport, OR area was full of incredibly beautiful sights and just the right amount of tourist kitsch. And the whales and friendly people made it even better…until our first Tsunami Warning! Reedsport to Newport (Beverly Beach State Park) Travel to Newport was only two hours. Thank goodness for the pro tip Read more

We are heading north to do some recreational camping after one month of volunteering at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park…a windy, rainy, and now sunny and cold, month! We enjoyed the area, rangers and other volunteers so much that we will definitely be back next year! It’s Not Even About the Lighthouse This park is in Read more

The past week or so has been filled with lovely snippets of nature mixed with weather worries, repairs and surprises. Any stress is temporary. We still love this life!
