Go, See, Do, Experience!
Canada Fire Smoke & Storm Clouds, Eagan, MN 08/23 Someone Forgot To Put The Rack Down, Bumpy Road, Minneapolis, MN 08/23 This is what happens when someone forgets to lay down the toilet paper stand before a travel day. They say, whoever “they” are, that any type of RV going down the freeway is like... Continue Reading →
The day was glorious weather: sunny, not hot, and not windy. Thankful! We said goodbye to Black Hills, South Dakota, as we probably won’t see many hills like that for quite a while. 🙂 The Great Plains stretched out in front of us. At one point, it looks like a man-made hill for the water... Continue Reading →
Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, SD 08/23 Crazy Horse Memorial! 🙂 We didn’t know what to expect. At the entrance gate we paid the entrance fee. We thought it was a little costly to see a mountain but we had no idea all there would be to see and do. We followed the road up... Continue Reading →
Sunset Through 2 trees, Black Hills National Forest, Black Hills, SD 08/23 Kevin said, “Let’s find Nemo!” While looking at a map at the state visitor center he saw there is a little town in the Black Hills, South Dakota, named Nemo. So off we went. The drive, oh wow, was so pretty. Rapid City,... Continue Reading →
Our home base house is just that….a place we can go to IF or WHEN we need to get off the road for a bit. Our current plans are to only be there a few weeks a year. This way we can get yearly doctor appointments done and things like that. What is a home... Continue Reading →
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 →
We went to Astoria Column in Astoria, Oregon. It turned out to be even better than Kevin thought it would be. It is high on a hill overlooking all directions. The column has 160 steps (I counted them) on a circular staircase. It was fun to see a ship go under the Astoria bridge. Ship... Continue Reading →
Astoria, Oregon: Fort Clatsop and Lewis & Clark National Historic Park. This is the place where Lewis & Clark and Corps of Discovery stayed the winter of 1805-1806. As we got close to the park, I saw on my Garmin RV 1090 map that there is an airport right across the road. I said to... Continue Reading →
Columbia River Maritime Museum, Astoria, OR 05/23 At Long Beach, Washington, we took our time getting up. We were less than an hour from our next campground and check in isn’t until noon. We left around 10:00am and went back over the bridge and back to Seaside, Oregon, where we had passed yesterday (see last... Continue Reading →
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 →
