A Strategic Pause: Seattle, Washington

After a little over two weeks on the road, we needed to take an intermission. Jennifer’s Dad was celebrating his 85th Birthday this year and Jennifer and her sister would not miss it. So we headed up to McChord Air Force Base and their on-base Famcamp. Craig stayed with the motorhome and Maggie, while Jennifer

Yachats and the Central Oregon Coast

The next stop on our drive up the Oregon coast was Yachats. Actually a few miles south of Yachats at the Sea Perch RV Park. The central coast is known for its rough shorelines, quaint sea towns, coastal drives and walks, and supposed whale watching. The first few of these we were pretty sure we would

Sea Lions and Shorelines: The Southern Oregon Coast Part 3

The last couple of days here the weather had been much more as we had pictured the Oregon coast; fog, sea breeze and salt mist. Not the best weather for sweeping landscape and shoreline vistas, but great weather for exploring, eating more seafood and hanging with friends. The RV Rally we were at was in

Wow, there is so much to see along the Oregon coast. The state of Oregon has kept the entire coastline public. No one can own any of it and if you have a business near it, you cannot restrict access. The result is pristine natural coastlines. Knowing Jennifer, she wanted to see it all, but

Beaches, Lighthouses and Dunes: The Southern Oregon Coast Part 1

We arrived at North Bend, Oregon a day earlier than we originally planned. We have spent about a week here exploring up and down the Oregon coast and doing our best to view some of what it has to offer. The temperatures were a very comfortable high 60s in the day and perfect sleeping temps

Waterfalls and Crater Lake

We know you all like a cliff hanger and the wait for this next post has been killing you. So in the interest of relieving your suspense, here’s what we did on Day 4 of our journey to the Oregon coast. And a new experiment for our blogs, a short video. We decided to take

On the Road Again. Finally!

For many it is the journey, not the destination. For today’s post, that is what it will be for us. For the last five days we have been on the road to Oregon and the cool coast of the Pacific Ocean. But for you non-geography majors, that means about a 1300 mile drive from Tucson.
