Grand Canyon: To the Bottom and Back

Before I start my story, I want to thank the people without whom I would not have been able to accomplish this adventure. To my wife Jennifer, thanks for all the support, the trudging on large elevation hikes with me to make sure I was ready for the climbs, and all the positive encouragement as

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 10: Breckenridge

One of our most favorite places to be in the fall is the mountains of Colorado and specifically the Breckenridge area. The changing of the colors, the quaking of the aspen leaves, the crisp air and the majestic mountains. This was our 4th visit to Breck, each time to the same area and at the

After nine wonderful weeks in the Pacific Northwest, it was time to conclude that portion of our road trip and move inland, way inland, to one of our favorite areas in the western United States; Yellowstone and Teton NPs. Originally our plans called for a stop-over in Leavenworth, WA and then some time in the

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 8: North Cascade National Park

Our turn east was for a stop at one of the preeminent mountain ranges in the United States. The Cascade mountains are sometimes called the American Alps and after our visit there we understand why. Our base was the small town of Rockport, WA at the Howard Miller Steelhead County Park. We came to see

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 7: Fidalgo Island, WA

We truly enjoyed the last two weeks on the Olympic Peninsula and the exploring the Olympic mountain range. Knowing we have more mountains in our travel plans down the road, we made one last stop to visit the sea. Our original plans were to stay on Whidbey Island and the Navy Base there. We have

After a great week in the rain forests and coastal regions of Olympic National Park, it was time to move north to the mountains. The Olympic range is home to some of the tallest and roughest mountains in the country and we have wanted to explore them for some time. We picked an area just

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 5: Olympic National Park-South

Olympic National Park has been on our bucket list for some time. It is a big area consuming most all of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State and is known for its rain forests, mountains and glaciers. It also has some wonderful coastline and beaches. We decided to split it up into two distinct areas.

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 4: Astoria, Oregon

The northern Oregon coast was the last section of coastline we had to visit to make it a full coastline tour. We chose to base out of the Astoria area. The Oregon National Guard has a small training post just south of Astoria with a wonderful little RV park. We decided to stay there as

Chasing 70s 2020 Part 3: Oregon Coast

One of our favorite places to chase 70-degree temperatures is the Oregon coast. We love the rough, raging and natural coastlines. Oregon is the only state which requires public access to all of its coast and beaches. The entire coast is lined with state parks, county parks and public access points. The varied weather patterns,

As we were already in northern California, we thought we would take the time to visit another national park. Along the coast is the town of Crescent City, the northern gateway to Redwoods National Park. This is where we decided to make our base for touring the Redwood Coast. We have always wanted to see
