PNW 2023 Part 10 – Washington Cascades, Wenatchee, WA

First let me start with apologizing for the delay in posting these last couple of blogs from our trip. Things got busy once we got home, and life just gets going on its own. But I am resolved to complete the series and share our last few stops with you. After almost 2½ months on

PNW 2023 Part 9 – Olympic Peninsula, Potlatch WA

Our last area on the Peninsula still unexplored was the eastern coastline. We selected the small town of Potlach, just south of Hoodsport, along the Hood Canal. Though situated on the water, after our five boat rides, we were ready to stay on some solid terra firma. Potlach seemed well located to also explore some

PNW 2023 Part 8 – Olympic Peninsula, Sequim WA

During our last visit to this area, we wanted to visit Victoria and Vancouver Island, British Columbia but COVID put a stop to that. So during this visit we decided to try again. The base area we picked was the town of Sequim, pronounced “skwim”, halfway between Port Townsend and Port Angeles, two of the

PNW 2023 Part 7 – Washington State, Whidbey Island

No trip to Washington would be complete for us without a visit to the San Juan islands and Whidbey Island in particular. We have great friends who live in Anacortes and we so look forward to seeing them when we are here. We also wanted to explore some new places, so we booked a stay

With Jennifer’s Dad getting ready to celebrate his 90th birthday, we decided to stop in the Seattle area and McChord Air Force Base as a place to park the motorhome for a couple days to fly down to Texas. Our original plan was to set up for a couple days near Mount Rainer before heading

PNW 2023 Part 5 – Washington Coast, Pacific Beach

After 4 weeks exploring the Oregon coast it was time to say “til next time” to Oregon and drive north into Washington. We had not explored much of the far western Washington coast, so we decided to check out some new areas. There are two choices we found on the west side, a southern peninsula,

PNW 2023 Part 4 – North Oregon Coast, Cannon Beach

As we continued north on our journey up the Oregon coast we made one last stop, Cannon Beach. Our plan here was to enjoy one of the largest beaches in Oregon and try out some of the many restaurants in this small vacation resort town. Just a short 100 miles north of Newport, the coast

PNW 2023 Part 3 – Central Oregon Coast, Newport

As we continued up the coast, we made an extended stop a few miles north of Newport and just a short 75 miles from Winchester Bay. We love this area! During our last two visits we spotted a lot of whales and hoped to replicate our luck again this year. The Oregon coast is lined

PNW 2023 Part 2 – South Oregon Coast, Winchester Bay

After a wonderful stay in Harris Beach and our first tastes of fresh seafood and the Pacific coast, we set the theme for our next stop as Seascapes, Sea Lions, and Seafood. Our target was to eat only freshly caught seafood, find sea lions in the wild close enough to see and hear, and hike

It’s summer in Tucson and 100+ degrees. Time for us to take off on our quest for cooler weather, coastal views, eating seafood and hiking.
