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…
Sunny Seattle
We unintentionally ended up in Seattle during Seafair. This was good and bad. Seafair is an annual festival that includes Fleetweek (U.S. Navy Ships in town), Airshows (including Navy Blue Angels), hydroplane races, etc. With all those fun activities come…
To The Sea
After crossing the Cascades at Snoqualmie pass, we skirted Seattle on our way to the quaint, seaside town of Anacortes, WA. We landed a nice camping site at Fidalgo Bay with a 3-mile biking trail into town just outside our…

March Across Montana

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…
Cookie, Cave, and Custer
After a fairly quick run out to the Black Hills, our pace has slowed. We are thoroughly enjoying all the Black Hills have to offer and taking time to relax. We celebrated M’s 4?th birthday with a 6 pound cookie…
