South Beach, OR 05/23 One day when I was at Quilt Retreat, Kevin met up with some friends. They are also traveling full-time. They went to South Beach, OR, across the road from our campground. Kevin found this amazing rock - look and see the shells INSIDE the holes. He said the rock is as... 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. We started sewing together once a month and invited others to join. Our group grew to about 10 ladies and soon we were meeting... Continue Reading →
Blessing Of The Fleet – Newport, OR
Blessing The Fleet: https://www.beachconnection.net/news/newp_blessing_fleet042523.php We drove to Newport, Oregon's Yaquina Bay Harbor around 9:30am and got the last parking spot in front of the fishing boats. We walked down to the float platforms where the boats tie on. We saw a lot of families excitedly walking to their boats for the ceremony. Boats All Shining... Continue Reading →
Pacific Ocean & Rocks = Beauty!
Kevin and I drove south out of Newport, Oregon along Hwy 101. We stopped often at the beaches. While it was cold and incredibly windy, the sun was out. But we still needed to wear our winter coats. The coast is beautiful. I really like the rocks that the waves crash into. Seal Rock, OR... Continue Reading →
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 →
Beauty We Didn’t Know We Would See!
This day was forecasted to be sunny and 60s. Yesterday I had checked, again, Crater Lake National Park website. Still closed. 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 →
Sharing A Week In Our Traveling Full-Time Life! :)
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 →
Internet on the road
I still work while we are on this adventure, and need reliable internet. Campground WI-FI ranges from non-existent to very unreliable. When we first started, we were using cellular internet "hotspot" from our phones. This works great - if you have good cell signal. We have been surprised at how poor cell signal is in...
