We Just HAD To Go To This State For 1 Night Due to Kevin’s “Rule”.
Remember Kevin’s rule that HOWE (footnote 1) HAS to spend at least 1 night in a state in order for us to count it as being there and adding it to our US sticker map? We have been to Washington state quite a few times over the years but not in HOWE. (Washington is a... Continue Reading →

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 →

Some of the park is always closed in the winter but even Rim Road was closed now due to so much snow. Sad. We had not been to Crater Lake before. I suggested we... Continue Reading →
