AFTER A BEAUTIFUL EVENING WITH FRIENDS, and a leash-free walk with the dawgs, we left our border hideaway in the morning and headed to Idaho. What an amazing, but much too short, time we had with friends Did I mention it snowed the day we left….in June!

WE TRAVELED AS CLOSE TO THE CANADIAN BORDER as possible without passports and the journey was oh so worth it! When you receive a gracious invitation from the founders of Campendium.com, you roll! We met Brian & Leigh eons ago in the Anza-Borrego Desert of Southern California and once again at one of our TopContinue reading “The Top of the States”

NEXT UP? A FERRY RIDE TO WHIDBEY ISLAND! We rolled down the street about a mile from our Port Townsend campsite to board the ferry where we had a front row seat. With numerous islands and lots of water in the Pacific Northwest, this is a common way to travel. At 52′ Airstream hitch toContinue reading “Next up?”

(Bill, Dean & Debbie, thank you for your recommendation!)Continue reading “Seaport Village”

AT THE TOP OF THE OLYMPIC PENINSULA in Washington is the seaport town of Port Angeles and long time friends, Dean & Debbie. Waaaay back in time, Jim and Dean were young engineers at the beginning of their careers in El Segundo, California. These days, the not-quite-so-young engineers continue to hone their skills on bikeContinue reading “The Olympic Peninsula”

Zero to 29 years in the blink of an eye. Find something to celebrate everyday ❤

INTRIGUED BY THE NAME, CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT, and assuming it couldn’t be all that disappointing, we pulled into the Washington state park with the same name and 2,000 acres located right on the beach. As with Oregon, the beaches were open to dawgs and this one even had not one, but two lighthouses, the North HeadContinue reading “What’s in a name?”
