The diversity of landscape and scenery in Washington continues to amaze. Quaint harbor towns, island sanctuaries, big cities, glacier capped mountains, and stunning beaches exist all within a few hours, or even minutes. Our final stop in the Evergreen State…
The Land of Vampires and Werewolves
Our trek from Port Angeles to the western side of the Olympic Peninsula brought us the furthest from home that we will be on this trip. We settled in the land of vampires and werewolves, at least if you believe…
International Olympic Adventure
Our trek to the west coast continued as we left Seattle, looped around the Puget Sound, soared across the remains of Galloping Gertie, motored up the Kitsap Peninsula, and crossed the floating bridge at Hood Canal to the north side of…

Dancin’ with the Devil
As the calendar rolled into July, we moved from Rapid City to the northern section of the Black Hills and setup camp in Spearfish, SD, eight miles north of Deadwood. I’ve always enjoyed frontier history and have been looking forward…
