Why Did We Get Off Our Planned Northern States Route?
3 travel days, 1213 miles. Where were we headed? South! (Keep reading for why.) We didn’t want to worry about waking up too early so we set the alarm for 6:30am. Pulled out of Seaside Campground in Oregon just before 7:30am. I filled the cooler, without ice, with snacks of crackers, Tillamook cheese curds, licorice,... Continue Reading →
Quilt Retreat 2023 @ Newport, OR
My cousin Jennette is the one who got me started sewing quilts in 2020. She is talented in so many ways and she loves to teach others who want to learn.

Oregon’s Coast At Newport
We headed to Oregon’s Pacific Ocean coast. We had reservations at Whaler’s Rest Campground which is in South Beach, just a few miles south of Newport. Check in was nice and easy; the lady was very helpful. She suggested to look at sites 58 or 59 because she knew Starlink (Footnote 1) works there. Starlink's... Continue Reading →
What Is Moochdocking? :)
At Southern Oregon RV Park, Kevin and I walked to the campground office and bought our 3rd bundle of firewood. It is nice to have a few days of good weather for a campfire. Later that afternoon Kevin started the fire so we would have coals for packets. This time we tried a new recipe... Continue Reading →
How An Entire Downtown Ended Up A National Landmark in Oregon.
We drove through Jacksonville which is about 15 miles west of Southern Oregon RV Park in Central Point, Oregon. The downtown looks really old and I wondered if the buildings were original. We think we might come back here another day. We then drove Hwy 238 about half hour north to Grants Pass. The drive... Continue Reading →

Washer and dryer - two of my favorite things in our 2022 Alliance Avenue 5th Wheel. Cold, down in the 30s overnight mid-April at Southern Oregon RV Park in Central Point. We didn’t feel cold inside HOWE (our 5th wheel, "Home On WhEels"). One morning we walked to the campground laundry. One of my favorite... Continue Reading →
Finishing Up Around Sacramento, CA
Who Is Hungry? Come And Get It! Nicolaus, CA 04/23 For dinner one evening, Kevin cooked green chili smashburgers (recipe below) on the Blackstone Griddle. Oh, it was so good!

Apple Park, Computer Museum, A Boat & Food Prices! Oh, & A RECIPE!
Before we got evacuated on March 10, we had reservations for March 26-April 16 at Morgan Hill, CA. Well, that one was also still closed due to flooding so we had to make other plans for those three weeks. Morgan Hill is close to San Jose and we thought we would have time to explore...

A Buoy, Garlic, Lighthouse, And Part Of The Donner Party.
After walking around Monterey, California (see last week's post) we drove a few miles to Point Pinos Lighthouse. It was built and lit in 1855. Point Pinos Lighthouse, Pacific Grove, CA 03/23 The light is on top of the house not a separate tower. The tour closed in about 15 minutes when we got there.... Continue Reading →
