We picked Port of Newport RV Park & Marina Campground, in Newport, Oregon, for the week. We didnât want to go back to Whalerâs Rest Thousand Trails (where we stayed back in 2023) because that campground is so tight with trees we didn't feel like we got a bit of sun. And, Starlink (footnote 1)... Continue Reading →
Friends, Ocean, Kites & Food @ Lincoln City (OR)
Travel Day from Buxton, Oregon, to around Lincoln City, Oregon. We are staying the week at our friendâs house. The roads around her house are narrow but we made it just fine. Stopped in the road in front of her property and had a look. She met us out there and we made a plan... Continue Reading →
Oregon Coast, Tillamook, & American Sign Language Thrill (OR)
Today we went to Willamette National Cemetery for Find A Grave (footnote 1). This is about an hour from our campground. It was very cold, in the high 50s, dark and damp. This place is huge, over 200,000 graves. It is on hills and up and down. Sadly, to us, the headstones are flat; boy,... Continue Reading →
The End Of The Trail. Lewis & Clark. (OR)
About 4 hours Travel Day drive today. As we crossed over Columbia River (Pasco, WA,) and into Oregon we remembered this entire road from travels in the past. We saw several large barges and towboats. The landscape changes from dried arid to a few green grass and some trees with great views. And then to... Continue Reading →
Canoe Camp, Dam, Hatchery, & Baseball (WA)
We didnât have plans for today since we had done all there was listed on several places. But on Friday I was looking at the Lewis & Clark app and scrolled in on the map and saw Canoe Camp. We decided to go there today. It is back the way we came, along Hwy 12,... Continue Reading →

A Capital Moved, Spiders & Disney (Clarkston, WA & Lewiston, ID)
We said our goodbyes to Mom & Dad and Bridget & Richard. Today our Travel Day was from Missoula, MT, to Clarkston, WA. We stopped at Loves for fuel and breakfast at the adjoining Hardeeâs. We knew it would be a long travel day with not a lot of towns around. We drove up the... Continue Reading →
My Parents & Friends Join Us For A Week In Missoula (MT)
This was one of two longer travel back to back days for us. Just around 5 1/2 hours so wasnât bad. The road from Williston, ND, to Harve, MT, was a highway and very good condition. We had a deer jump out in front of us but thankfully Kevin kept control and the deer got... Continue Reading →
Fundraiser With Quilts & Sweetcorn (ND)
The Williston, North Dakota, city event webpage is one of the best laid out information given that I have ever seen. Among the other things we found, and did, (see last week's post) I saw Sweetcorn & Quilt Festival. Of course âquiltâ caught my eye! Turns out this is a youth camp that started in...

Lots Of Fun Things We Did This Week (ND)
Continuing to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail, our Travel Day took us from Riverdale, North Dakota to Williston, North Dakota. I read out loud our new book that we bought after being at Fort Mandan last week. It is Waheenee, an Indian girlâs story told by herself to Gilbert L Wilson back in 1920s.... Continue Reading →
